our 2016 didn't come with falken, but whatever similar brand it had were awful and I happily replaced them at 20-25k miles with a set of michelin a/s 3+, which have been much better.
Replaced ours at 20k. They were so loud! Michelin primacy tour I believe. Huge upgrade
I had the Cross Climates on my last car. They were mounted Feb 2021. The Cross Climates came out in 2015 as a summer tire with winter capabilities. They were pretty good. I liked how they handled when I went through a huge deep long puddle/water build up on the highway. My car wasnt pulled to the left if the water was on the left for example. They handled pretty decently in the snow. While driving over slush or ice on the highway I felt the car was secure and planted. Although I did feel some slipping at times but recovered because of their grip right away. I think they handled better than the Michelin Sport All season tires I had on my BMW. As for summer handling I thought they were great. They did feel a bit slower or clunky going into fast corners but they gripped well.
When my OEMs are gone I have always bgt Michelins and been very pleased. If I get 40-50K miles on a tire I'm happy.
Running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's -225/45 r17. Over a year on them in pothole Ohio. No problems whatsoever, Even with hitting the odd pothole directly.
Just switched from the DWS to the MPSAS4 and the Michelin is by far the more performance oriented all season tire.
Oh then 1000% get Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ not even a debate. They ARE sports car tires, handling is off the chain, they have stupid long mileage warranty, they are phenomenal in the rain, and they are fantastic in light snow (say 3" or less) and light ice. But they are definitely dead silent.
I run Michelin Premier A/S and I’ve really enjoyed them. I also run my tire a little bit taller and more narrow than factory. I like the taller sidewall for ride comfort.
I popped a tire on the lip of one of California's ubiquitous ~~potholes~~ sink holes. If I ever buy another "no spare" car it better have airless tires like the [Michelin uptis](https://michelinmedia.com/michelin-uptis/) on it standard.
I'm currently running Michelin Premieres on my Jetta. They are great tires, especially in the wet, but don't get near the longevity that they claim. I've put TrueContacts on our old Forester, and was very happy with them. I've also had General Altimax HP's on the Jetta (same category tire), and was happy with those as well. Generals are a great budget tire. They were very quiet, and I'll echo the comment that they feel squirmy at first until all the casing oil gets out of them.
