Tires Falken or MRF
These Falkens were great in the snow and the very little dirt road driving I’ve done.
I have the Falken Sincera SN250 A/S and looking on Tire Rack, they seem to be a direct upgrade to your Laufenns for about $10 more each. Might be worth a try. I've found them to be quiet and absorbing of bumps and road weirdness. Also lightweight feeling.
I changed my tires to the non-OEM Wildpeak AT3W in size 285/75R18. Effectively 34" tall. No modifications/lift, only slight rub. Fuel economy is essentially unchanged with 75k kms in the larger tires. I didn't notice any significant difference in ride or noise. But I was much more pleased with the look of the tire filling out the wheel wells much better.
I went Falken Wildpeak AT4W P285/70R17 SL which is almost stock at 32.8" on my scs 17x8.5 +20 wheels and am totally satisfied. Almost stock weight and size but with a "truck" look.
Falken Wildpeak AT4 275 / 65 / 20. Yes millage takes a little hit but I drive alot of gravel roads also. For me highway noise is minimal. Basically a 34” tire. Also like the little wider foot print over stock.
Went 35 11.50 r18 wild peak at4 on my 2024 TRD pro. Can definitely tell a difference in weight. You get used to it. Fuel consumption went down a bit but not too bad. Rides fine. These have some noise but that's to be expected for AT tires. Don't regret the upgrade. Looks so much better.
I recently purchased a set of 235/50-18 Falken Wildpeaks for $500CAD...typically $1500CAD and the tires looked brand new (about 5 months of driving on them according to seller). They ride awesome on my Maverick and I will continue to buy used tires.
I got slightly larger tires (I think 235/65/r17 but could be wrong) but they fit and look nice. Falkan wild peaks, they’re 3 ply and slightly heavier so they’re basically a money sink. Worse fuel economy, more road noise, more expensive to purchase. Buuuuut… Look cooler, better off road / snow performance, less likely to pop from impact.
Mine was mrf and did not have a good experience. Within 1 month 4k km run tire burst in a simple pot hole with 33 psi air pressure
First set dry rot within 2yr and the other had irreparable sidewall chunk damage within 5k miles. Terrible quality on that model.
