Tires Hankook or Falken
I just got the Falken Rubitrek and have to say I'm quite impressed with their wet weather and snow/ice handling. My truck feels glued to the road.
I took a set of 7/32 tread depth firestone ft140\u2019s off my little daily driver Toyota Corolla and went with a set of Falken Aklimates. They run quieter, cost less, and last longer than the cross climates (which I also sell) and are my most recommended tire for cars and small SUV\u2019s.
I used to run Mickey Thompson mud tires on my Jeep. The last set had something like 60% tread life remaining when they were so cupped out and obnoxious I couldn't stand it anymore. I yanked them off, and decided to give a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3s a try. The Falkens were significantly less expensive, better mannered, and 40-50,000 miles later, they're barely even worn. On the same vehicle. Without any mods or maintenance to the suspension, which obviously wasn't the reason the Mickeys cupped out. These are excellent tires, and I would buy Falkens again, no question. On the other side of the line, I got a set of Sumitomos for my truck, and when I wore those out, I dug deep and ponied up for a set of Michelins the next time. The Sumitomos just didn't do it for me.
We replaced the stock tires with some AT falkens. Massive difference in grip. In all weather conditions. Highly recommend, at a ~5% sacrifice to fuel economy on hybrid.
I replaced the tires on my Dual Motor model last month at 21,000 miles with Hankook Ion hT tires, which offer an 80,000-mile tread warranty
When I ordered my 2024 xlt 2.0 4k tow Maverick I opted for the Falken wildpeak AT3 tires. They're a little louder than all season but not much. Average around 34 mpg in the summer and 29 in the winter great traction, have around 30.000 miles on them with plenty of tread left
I had a choice, AWD or an Eco Boost motor. The AWD ended up being a better buy. I know I’m going to miss the Eco Boost.
I chose the AWD because of boon docking. I put Falken Wildpeak 235/65/16 tires on it.
I had Falken A/T3W on my 2016 primarily for daily driving in rain and snow. On my 2024, I've got Falken R/T because the A/T3W and A/T4W were out of stock and I didn't want to wait. They're not bad, and at least they're C load rating.
I have the stock Hankook Ventus S1 evo2's in 245/35ZR19 on my 2023 A4. When I test drove the car I noticed a slight pull to the right, requiring slight but steady left steering input. This spring when I swapped back to the summers I noticed the right pull again. Over time the issue has remained, and I've noticed bad tramlining all the time. I feel like I'm constantly fighting the steering on most roads. Also, I highway commute to work and have noticed these tires hydroplane badly in the wet. Because of this I'm planning to get different summer tires next spring.
My wildpeaks only lasted a little over 18k miles or 30,000km
I felt they were more of an aggressive appearing road tyre
I had the AT3s, definitely the opposite experience in my case as I don't recommend them unless you spend most of ur time on pavement
but left me unimpressed
