Tires Falken or OEM BMW
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 had them years ago on a plow truck and holy crap were they good in the snow.
My Wildpeak at3 held up to 90k miles. Highway use with cell tower trails between highway runs. They are a great tire.
I have just over 1000 miles on the falkens, and on road, I don't think I could tell the difference between them and the Michelin crossover tires that I had before. They're obviously much better off road.
Mostly road driving with a little off road. I love them.
I’m happier with the Falkens, to be honest. Quiet on the road and show less wear.
AT4W - 265/75R/16 stock SR suspension.
Initial weekend thoughts:
- I sit slightly higher with these bigger tires. Just barely enough for me to notice though as I look over my steering wheel. I previously had on the stock 245/75R/16 HW tires.
-MPG’s don’t take a hit on regular roadways up to 45 MPH but getting on the freeway is when I feel some resistance. The truck feels heavier/slower and MPGs are reduced by 2-3 MPGs on the freeway as I’m accelerating more frequently to reach and stay at my desired speed.
-There is virtually no road noise difference from the stock tires, at least not what I’ve been able to tell so far.
-I feel the road more, speed bumps feel more sensitive for example.
-The A/T tread is picking and throwing up some rocks from the road.
I’ve only had them for the weekend so far but I love the functionality of these tires and they also add that desired aggressive look I have been longing for. I’m excited to take these off pavement real soon.
These wore down so quick for me… great at first but the durability is not there.
2025 forester with 3200 miles on the falken tires. I have already had 2 instances of road damage. First a sheet metal screw in the tread and now a puncture and tear on the inner sidewall due to a piece of gravel.
I can’t believe that for $33,000, They come with shitty ass Falken tires.
