Tires Falken or OEM Toyota
Sailun Terramax AT2, or Falken Rubitrek AT01, only tires i will run on mine. The falkens are amazing on fuel economy and noise, Sailuns are cheaper and only slightly nosier, still good fuel economy.
My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.
On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.
My wife has the Wildpeak A/T on her Crosstrek, 225 tread width. Absolutely bonkers incredible tires, but the next set will be 215. In the snow, the narrower width cuts down noticeably better in deeper snow.
Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.
I just got the Falken Rubitrek and have to say I'm quite impressed with their wet weather and snow/ice handling. My truck feels glued to the road.
I took a set of 7/32 tread depth firestone ft140\u2019s off my little daily driver Toyota Corolla and went with a set of Falken Aklimates. They run quieter, cost less, and last longer than the cross climates (which I also sell) and are my most recommended tire for cars and small SUV\u2019s.
I had Open Country tires and they were horrible. Currently have falken wildpeak and they aren't amazing but 10x better than open country from my experience.
The 2 sets of Falkens didn’t last 6 months before some started separating. Tried to get two warrantied, they just didn’t respond.
The factory 265/70R18 Wildpeak AT3WA tires are at 3/32 at 10k miles and 4 months of use. The dealership or Falken would not help and said that was normal wear. Am I wrong in thinking they should last longer? 80% Highway, 15% curvy back roads under 35 mph, 5% gravel driveway. Flat and even wear.
