I went with Falken wildpeaks for my last 2 sets and have had great results (sold the first set with 45K miles with 10/32 tread left) and I still love my 2nd set.
I have a 2020 Cross Sport building into a suburban overland mall crawler. There's a minimal amount of model-specific aftermarket support. VWoA has parts available as part of their Basecamp product line (flares, valences, wheels, tires). A lot of the other stuff is just adaptable accessory add-ons. The biggest tire you can fit without lifting (and maybe even with) is a 265-70-17 (Falken Wildpeak AT3W shown), but you will need the SmithVW BFT blocks to pull in the fender liners. Mine still rubs on occasion but something about dubbing and rubbing. Wheels are fifteen52 Traverse MX 17x8 ET20 in Frosted Graphite.
If you looking for an economical, aggressive, all round good tire, you can’t beat the faulken wilpeak at3s. I have them currently and love them. When I was doing research 1 year ago Consumer reports also rated the faulkens one of the best all terrain tires.
The Falken Wildpeak A/T trails that I got late this spring have been great since. They're quiet and surprisingly efficient on the road, while delivering noticeably better grip on loose dirt, mud, and sand.
Kept mine at 35 (19 sport with stock falken). Now have Falken Wildpeaks also @ 35psi.
Ditched my Falkens the first week of ownership. Blizzaks rock!
The best upgrade i did was ditch the stock faulkens at about 20-25K of use and went with 225-55-17 all season tire for summer use.
1st thing I did when I got my Alltrack was drive to discount tire and trade my Falkens for some Conti PURECONTACT LS. Got $50 per tire on trade. OEM tires always seem to be cheap versions of their namesake that wear our early etc. Swap em now or before next winter.
My setup is 19" DPE's with 8.5" wide front wheels on 225/35/19 Nitto 555 extreme tires which have good grip from what I've seen so far and a 10" wide rear wheels on 245/35/19 Falcon 452's... The Nitto's are more expensive but I've been told they wear down slower and have better grip than the Falcon's...
FALKEN ZIEX ZE-512, I had these on 18" wheels and they were a hard tire, lots of road noise and didn't provide a lot of grip. I didn't buy them again nor would I suggest them to someone. They were fine, but I am sure there are better tires out there. I went with FEDERAL SS-595 which were cheaper, quieter and grip way better in the dry. look at www.onlinetires.com
