I have 265 rubitrek on my 4runner now. Absolutely no complaints about them. I drove to Moab from NY with them even encountered some snow on the way, they did awesome
Tires have been great so far, quiet, look great and handle great in water-just rained today!
Update: got the Nexens and so far notice 0 road noise on highway or in town, both absolutely quiet.
The Nexens without a second thought... Those N'Fera SU1 tires are excellent tires and Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry.
I would get the Falken Wildpeak AT4W or AT3W if you can still find them. I've driven through 1.5 ft no problem
I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.
If you need to remain budget conscious, I would recommend Nexen or Falken. The Nexen Winguard Sport 2 or Falken Winterpeak would be a good budget winter tire.
I actually owned the 365AW and the Aklimates. The 365’s were very good in the slight amount of snow (Long Island, NY) I drove them in and were all around great. The aklimates I didn’t have a chance to drive in the snow but had a weird hum that I wasn’t fond of.
Cheap Chinesium trash, rated at 40k miles but I would be shocked if you got much more than 20k-25k and the warranty is basically non-existent... And "all-season" tires really are 3-season tires these days, if you deal with any snow you want to look at all-weather tires like Falken Aklimate or General Altimax 365AW.
I've only ever used one set of Falkan tires and will never use them again. Just very very loud tire hum compared to Bridgestone or Michelin.
