Tires Falken or OEM Volkswagen
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.
with the Falkens on, the traction is a lot better than the stock Hankooks.
I just got new tires. Went from MT Geolandars to Wildpeak AT4W.
I miss the more aggressive look of the MT but I’m loving the smoother ride of the AT4Ws.
I have Falken Wildpeak AT4W LT285/70R17 on mine and with the rims they weigh about 92lbs each and I’ve had zero problems.
Falken Pro G5 A/S in Southeast Wisconsin. Works well for me all year around.
I’ve had a decent experience with my Falken Rubitreks, they’re not a true winter but they perform well enough
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.
