Tires Falken or Maxxis
Ran falkens on my last 2 trucks, loved them the whole time
Falken tires are amazing! Sumitomo Heavy Industries, yo. Didn't use the Falken all-seasons that long, because I sold the car.
Had BF for a while and switch to Falken 2 years ago. I find falken are quiet and better on snow and ice.
I've gone from XR4s to DHR/DHF. If there is an increase in rolling resistance, the only place I think I notice it is when I'm on a very gentle downward slope, and I wonder if I'd accelerate due to gravity a little faster on the XR4s. On the other hand, when I'm doing steep technical climbing in the saddle, and putting down the kind of power that made the XR4 lose traction, the DHR has never spun out.
Having ridden the XR5, XR/SE4, DHF, DHR2, Dissector the XR5 is closest to the DHR2 3C EXO. If you liked the XR5 as a front, you'll get along really well with the DHR2.
Looks like the dhr2/aggressor would be the closest match looking at the tread and tread size. You could go with the slightly slower (contentious claim on here) but more common front dhf/aggressor. I prefer the dhr2 over the dhf but giving the assegai a try once trails are opened here.
Edit: I run a DHF/Dissector combo, grippy in the front, speedier but still grippy in the rear.
I’m on my 3rd set of Falken AZENIS RT615K+ (I have two sets mount right now, one set has been to the dragon twice now. The other set is brand new on a set of LMs I haven’t run yet) First set I had I racked up about 20k miles in 2019 and 2020. I hit Wookies, alpine vagfair, spring breakdown, Radwood Detroit, EuroSummit, trips all over for daily driving. Rain isn’t a concern at all, standing water, slushy rain the tire is phenomenal as shown this past weekend at the tail of the dragon.
Aggressor has all the traction of a Dhr while rolling a touch faster. It's pretty shit in the wet though.
AT3W 100%. My 2016 4x4 Tacoma actually came with new KO2s from the dealer and they were the biggest POS tire ever. Terrible. I would slip in rain all the time it nearly caused a few wrecks. Off-road it was just ok. Meanwhile the falkens felt amazing both on road or off-road , rain or dirt. With a 55k warranty. Best tires I’ve ever owned.
