Tires Falken or Uniroyal
My Falken tires are extremely affordable and they grip better than my Pirellis in every real-world situation that I’ve needed the grip.
Just put on 265/65/18 SL wildpeak at4w on an otherwise stock 2012 GX and can confirm that they will fit with no rubbing. Compared to the Michelin latitudes that were on before, the feel on the road is noticeably better, i.e. more plush but also more planted... if that makes sense. Road noise is minimal difference in my mind but I have a skybox on top so maybe I'm just used to it. Being in pnw, wet traction is a must and these should do the trick.
Have a set on Mustang Gt for over a year. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Quiet, decent in the rain, better grip than the Falkens it replaced.
I have a set of Falken FK510s on my car. Pretty cheap, enough grip that with an upgraded rmm but without a torque gussett bar I still get pretty gnarly wheel hop. Proper grip especially in the wet which is kinda wild, and I've made it through a couple winters with them in Ohio.
I had Tiger Paws on my old 2020 Trax and that car never budged in snow. It’s not even full time awd.
i trash mine, and i’ve never had one go flat. last time i had my truck serviced they pulled 9 nails out of my Falkens & they were all still holding pressure (i work in construction). obviously i replaced them all but the fact they were holding air still made me just buy another set.
Budget option? Uniroyal Tiger Paw A/S Touring (Michelin tier 3 brand, really solid lesser known/ran but recommend them dollar for dollar over most Michelins)
If you go off road occasionally, and in the snow at all, the falken wildpeak AT is the way to go.
Ages ago my boss put Falken on the company van. They lasted about 20,000 miles
They're absolutely terrible and in my mind it's a bit of a slap in the face to customers to say it's a car that can do both off-road and city, then give it tires that are absolutely horse shit.
