Tires Falken or SUMITOMO
Now I also got some UHP tires (Falken Azenis FK510) in 235/45/17 and am really pleased with them, they got a lot of grip!
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.
- Quiet when new - Reasonable grip dry/wet - Cheap to buy http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif - Lack of serious siping = don't bother in the snow - Gets noisy starting about halfway worn - If you have any autocrossing aspirations... don't.
I've had the sumitomos before. they were ok, quieter but not very grippy. They looked awesome though. They also sucked when it was cold ( turned into bricks and thumped until they warmed up )
