Tires Kumho or BFGoodrich
I ran KO2s on my '18 4Runner off-rad that the ex-wife took and liked them so much I now have them on my '23 GX. I can't speak to the Falkens but I love the KO2s, off road and on (at least for the light/medium off roading I do).
I love KOs and KO2s. They are amazing on my F250. Going over rocky terrain on a ranch yesterday I had confidence they wouldn't tear to shreds. They have been amazing for the last 6 years on that truck. I didn't know I liked them.
ive only ever used BFgoodrich KO2 on both my trucks. they have worked amazing on dirt and even managed to somehow some way work on mud so nasty and thick it wouldn't come off my clothes days later. maybe the Falkens are just as good i don't know but for now ill stick to what i know is a sure thing.
I currently have both. K02s on my taco and wildpeaks on my 4runner. I like the wildpeaks much more. The wildpeaks perform better in the snow and are quieter on pavement. They are also significantly cheaper. I've had endless balancing issues with the k02s. They ride a little harsher/stiffer as well. Off road the difference between the two is minimal.
I’ve had both. Wildpeaks on my 5th 4Runner and K02 on my Landcruiser. I prefer the look of K02 by a long shot if that matters to you. They both ride identical to me on the highway and snow honestly. They are both ATs so gonna cake up and suck in the mud.
K02!! If you're OK with less fuel efficiency they're beasts. Never buying a different tire.
Haven't had Falken but I currently have KO2's on my 470. I live near Durango at 8400' and still have 3' of snow. I haven't had any complaints with these tires, on road, off-road, on snow or ice. They perform way better than Yokohama's, or Hankooks in my opinion and I will most likely get them again.
The only tire I've had that didn't feather in the rear was the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX. But, it's easy to brake the tires loose on APR Stage 1.
Falken RT660 suck when temps are below 60F as even in the dry the rears won't get enough heat in them to work properly until around runs 5-6. Kumho V730 do better in cool dry weather than the RT660, but they're not a rain tire (at least not here in the Pacific NW).
Kumho tires don’t last, the rubber cracks out.
