Tires Falken or Nokia
I run them on both the wife’s Q5 and my WRX. I’ve run Blizzaks and Toyo winter tires and the Nokian tires are head and shoulders better than those
the Nokian R5 is incredible. I used to live next to a ski resort, and the tire killed it in cold weather, ice, deep snow, the works
Wildpeak AT trails have been great for me in South America.
I run Falken Wildpeaks AT4w on my GX 550... The Falkens have been on for a year and are great on road and light off-roading. They are good in the snow but not as good as the Toyos.
Falken Rubitrek A/T. They are a little less aggressive then the Wildpeaks, and perform better on the highway. I do a lot of highways miles and occasionally drive on some rough trails, these have been amazing.
I have had no issues off road with the Wild Peaks.
The Falken Wildpeak ATs I had on my Gladiator were great. They spent about 90% of their life on road. They were quiet and I had minimal MPG loss. I got close to the 55k mile mark before I needed to replace them. They were great in snow and rain, never had a sliding issue.
Just got mine a few weeks ago! 265/70R17, much quieter and so much better in rain than my KO2s were even when they were brand new. I got SL, went back and forth between SL and E. I really wanted them to have a C-class LT tire but not available in this size
I drove on mine up to the base of mount Seymour a couple days ago before the plow started clearing the road. However I made it fairly easily to the first parking area and had to park as I wouldn’t make it to the lodge parking. Made it down without issue too. On fresh snow I found them a bit squirrelly but nothing too bad.
I have less than 25K on these tires. The tread is greater than 8/32 and I thought the cracking was part of the tread pattern. Then I noticed the tire was starting to flake apart on the tread.
I just had them replaced. I paid $800 for these tires 3 years ago. When they were sold to me they were already 1 year old. I called Nokian and they helped me find a shop that would support the warranty. The shop I bought them from would not provide any warranty support at all. This is also the shop that convinced me Nokian are good tires. I wish I had known. So frustrated that I just spend another bucket of money after 25k miles.
