Going from the stock 235/45 tires to taller sidewall 225/55 took some harshness out of the ride, which I really enjoy. The tires, being all terrains, have been a huge upgrade in winter and on rough, unpaved roads. Highly recommend if you're into that. I went with Falken Wildpeak AT Trails.
You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.
I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.
The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.
Happy with Falken WP4ATW, mostly road and 10% unservice trails (mtb shuttles). Low noise compared to other AT tires.
I got some Falken Wild Peak Trail with 18 inch aftermarket rims. so far performance in wet and snowy conditions has been excellent.
I went from Falkens to Toyos in 315/70r17 and the Falkens were 2” larger in diameter.
Nankang FT-9 tires have been awesome for me. I basically rally my little van out in the woods so I can attest to their durability.
They also handle pretty well on road.
And they are LT rated!
12/30/25: Discount Tire- Falken WildPeak AT3W warranty replacements due to out of round with 4270 miles - replaced with WildPeak AT4Ws (2) - Road forced balanced FL- 8lbs with .75 inner left… FR 11lbs with 1.0 inner left - OOR AT3Ws 55lbs could not balance correctly- 50-60mph shake not present as of now
I just went through the same thing and ended up picking the wildpeaks. In my size i could only get E rated KO3s, and didnt want to go that heavy. I havent gotten out yet so cant speak to that, but on the road they dont feel much different to the OEM trailhunter tires. I actually think maybe a little worse in wet, but not to the point of being an issue (and its been pretty wet where im at)
I got the falkens from discount tire. They were a good price but I don't think I would get them again. All else being equal they don't track as well as the Yokohama I had.
- avoid the willys, stock tires are LOUD (falken mt)
