Tires Nexen or Falken
I’m in Maine tried them both, liked the wild peaks so much I put them on my wife’s suv, and my sons crosstrek. They are my all time favorite and incredibly high quality.
Out of all the ones you have listed, I would take the Nexens without a second thought... Great tires, very underrated, and arguably the best warranty in the industry including a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer.
Tires are on, I went with LT285/70R18 Falken Wildpeak AT4W in C load range. They are a legit 34x11.5 and are pretty heavy since they are the beefier Duraspec sidewall, coming in a 68 lbs, but still C load range. So tough, but with a smoother ride and potentially more flex than an E rated. I wanted to stick with the factory wheels, because A) they look great B) I don't want a higher scrub radius for clearance and wear/ tear, C) saves money.
Falken Wildpeak AT4.
I use them on the trails all the time, they’re great. Better on snowy pavement than my buddies KO2s as well
Falken Rubitrek. I don't go off road much so they are as aggressive as I need, but with better road manners.
Falken wildpeak work fantastic on snow and year round
I got falken tires. The OEM Dunlop tires that came with the 2019 was so bad I would step the break the abs would be pumping and I would slide for a fair distance. The falken I get good grip in winter not so good with rain but I can maneuver better in rain even though I slide a bit.
Have them on a RAV4 TRD and they are nearly the same as the Falken that were stock, both are not really a truck winter tire in my opinion.
Those oem tires are some of the worst I've seen, pretty much anything would be an upgrade.
They are absolutely trash in the snow and for being relatively worn smooth at this point, they have been noisier than anything in 30 years of driving.
