Tires Falken or Uniroyal
Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
I'm on my second set. I got just about 64k miles over three years before they were cracking and down to 3/32. I just don't have the same confidence in those so I went back to the A/T Trails. They definitely grip the road better and are less bouncy.
I am on my 3rd set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw A/S tires here in PA. They wear excellent. Stay quiet. Priced well.
Uniroyal rainsport 5s are the best midrange tyre for Irish weather imo
I highly recommend the Wildpeaks. Had them on my 2500. Got nearly 80k out of a set.
I recently bought some Falken Azenis FK460 A/S and am thrilled with them. Sticky but quiet and smooth. Perhaps a bit less crisp that the Pirelli P Zero AS I had previously but just as sticky when they were new and they are quieter and ride better, should last longer. A softer sidewall should also help off road.
Had Michelin, sold em. Love the Falkens.
33k before a pothole bubbled a side. MPG dropped 1 or 2 in my 22' turbo.
I’ve got the Falken Wildpeaks on a 2008 F350 Dually and they’re ok on dry roads. I put them on all seven wheels 6 + the spare) in 2019 and do regular rotations. Today while pulling one to get a slow leak fixed I noticed substantial weather checking down between the lugs; it concerns me, even though it’s been 3.5 years I’m nowhere near the 50,000 miles tread wear warranty. I’ll add these tires really suck in any kind of slick mud and snow/ice on or off the road. Terrible on ice and snow.
