Tires Falken or NANKANG
I just put at4’s on my JLUS - just as quiet as the factory AT’s and feel the same on the freeway - feel grippier on dry pavement than stock, haven’t had a chance to try them in the rain yet.
I’ve been really happy the AT3’s I got year before last, they perform admirably offroad and in snow, and they are great on the highway to boot
I’ve had the falken at3’s for the last 4 years. Amazing tires that have treated me very well. Great in all conditions with good throttle control and very good wet weather grip compared to the KO2’s I had before.
Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
I'm on my second set. I got just about 64k miles over three years before they were cracking and down to 3/32. I just don't have the same confidence in those so I went back to the A/T Trails. They definitely grip the road better and are less bouncy.
I highly recommend the Wildpeaks. Had them on my 2500. Got nearly 80k out of a set.
I have Falkens now, and am considering the Geolanders because they do slightly better in the rain. I'm not sure which is better in the snow. The Falkens have been fantastic in the snow, as you probably know, but I find traction isn't great on wet roads.
My Wildpeak experience was a horror story! 15 different trips to Discount Tire for balancing/rebalancing & rotations. I would take videos on the exact same stretch of road, at the exact same speed with a view of the steering wheel, speedometer & road to keep consistency.
Purchased wildpeaks for my Tacoma since they seem to be popular. First time I drove with them, right away I noticed how bad the vibration was throughout the whole cab. Went back to discount tire and they rebalanced and road forced. Been there about 5 times now and I am about to give up on them.
