Tires Falken or OEM Subaru
I’m rocking the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W really nice tire and winter rated as well, not much road noise, awesome in the snow, do a lot of gravel road driving as well and they hold up real nice.
Got a set last summer on my Scion im 17 inch rims. When they are new they do have some noise but after 100 miles or so they quiet down. They have really good traction but they aren't performance tires. They will grip the road nicely but if pushed to far they will squeal. I will say they have a great wet road performance and actually feel like they are connected to the road. Not A/T tires but they break really well in the rain and even did really well on a loose gravel road.
I'm running them too (for about 2k miles so far) in a 255/50R20 and I like them. They feel very surefooted in the big rainstorms we get down here in Florida.
the falken Wildpeak AT3W’s added that extra touch. They’re quiet and have great traction.
I personally like Falken Wildpeak AT3s. Haven't got them on my XJ yet but they've done great for on and off-road driving. I've had them on a JK, Ranger, Sierra 1500, and my work van.
Amazing dry grip from the first run. They do like to be warm, the second or third run has the most grip and then they fall off unless you spray. I'm in love with this tire, when it's on the car we are consistently within the top times of the day, if not fastest overall.
Been running them on my 2019 Atlas for for over a year. No issues, good tread life, and quiet.
You didn’t give wheel specs so i’ll say my setup: Falken Azenis 245,40,r15. absolute monsters, look amazing and grip for days
Around Thanksgiving last year, I had two Michelin MXV4 Eco+ OEM stock tires that were worn and need of replacing. I followed suggestions of colleagues and Consumer Reports and bought two Falken Ziex ZE-512, and installed them on the front of my 1998.5 Turbo Passat Wagon. Although I kept the same size (195/65/R15) I was impressed immediately: much better handling, steering response, road feel, as well as seriously improved wet and dry grip. Extremely stable at 90mph+ speeds, and good cornering. After about 1000 miles however, I thought I had front-end or transmission problems, as there was this terrible WHOO=WHOO sound coming from the front. I took it to a shop and they said no trouble, just tire noise. Noise worsened, so took to VW dealer in Maine while on the road; they said that car was aligned perfectly per spec, but Falken tires were \"cupped\", and worn on the inside.
I hated the falkens I had on my GLI when I sold it, they did everything in a mediocre fashion but cost considerably less than the Goodyear f1 gsd3's and BFG KDW2's I had prior.
