I’ve always been a fan of Nokian tires. Through research, found what seemed like the perfect set. Hakkapeliitta R3’s. They’re studless tires, but with crystals molded into the rubber compound that act like micro studs. I didn’t want anything that would create much road noise, since road noise is mainly what we hear in the EV, so these seemed like the best of both worlds.
I recently replaced the Nittos on my 2020 Pro with Falken Wildpeak AW3s. Huge difference in noise!
I’m running stock Falken Wildpeak E-loads @40psi, and find them quite, but my reference is 225/45R18 run-flats on a BMW so ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
My 2020 Ascent has 24k on the Odometer, and the original Falken tires look brand new.
I love my Wildpeak AT3s. Had them almost a year and they’re great
I swapped the dunlops for new 265/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W.
Minor rubbing on front bumper splash guard, but I pushed it back and will likely take a heat gun to it later. The dunlops did not rub but it was close.
The Nokian tires are the winner. We run these tires in Greenland, and I run them on the R (The R2’s) in the North East. They are incredible tires in cold weather conditions. I’ve gotten many seasons - i am just now retiring them, after a very long run. They would have lasted even longer except I left them on the car in the summer because I couldn’t bring myself to switch to my firmer summer tires. Despite the abuse they held up.
I have a Finnish tire called Nokian outpost at/s and they work pretty damn well, have size 32s on a stock 3rd gen 4Runner and I went up to wheel in about 2 feet of snow last year about 5 or 6 times and only got stuck once in a deep snow drift on a hill. I’ve had no issues with them especially since they were 550 installed so not bad if you can get them and are on a budget, I think there are better options but for the price these have been almost flawless other than they are wearing a little faster then a expensive tire would, but that’s par for the course.
i agree, i run falken rt-615 on my mustang, they are ok in the rain. old pavement when wet proves to be a little tricky at times.
For the love of God never buy the Falken Wildpeak at3w all terrain truck tires. They are the absolute worst tire I've ever had on a vehicle.
