Tires Nexen or Falken
I can't speak to the defenders here but the Falken I have had 2 sets on my F150 I live in East Central Alberta so we can alot of snow and Ice and I loved the Falkens on Snow, Gravel, in the fields and the highway.
Can’t speak to the defenders but I have E rated Wildpeak AT4Ws and I’m very happy with them. Excellent off road traction and good road performance. No noticeable increase to road noise.
I had those Falkens, and I miss them; I have Firestone now, and they are ok. I a lot quieter than the Falken, but either way the Falkens are best.
Some of the best tires for the price honestly, love them on my wife’s 2020 1500 and on my 2020 F350 Platinum. Been towing 16K lbs almost daily with them tires and they wear very good! Highly recommended
I've been running Falken Wildpeak A/T3W all\_ Terrain since I ripped off the crappy OEM tires. Mounted on a 2017 1500 Laramie /w 105k. No issues. Excellent in rain, mud, and highway. They are snow peak rated, but in Florida no snow.
I’m currently running them on my 18 big horn and love them so far. I can’t say anything about snow cause I’m in Texas but they do amazing on the highway, rain and the little bit of mud I’ve been in they did pretty good. I did have balancing issues and one was out of round and had to replace that one but now it ride amazing even at 110 mph.
Love my Falken Wildpeak A/T 10ply (had Falken before they were a big name). They have been really good tires, and i keep them rotated every 6k-7k miles. Even wear and still look really good. When these need replaced, i will go with Falken again for sure. They are good for offraod as well, have been in mud that was halfway up the tires, and no issues at all. Plus, they are good on the highway with no road noise (at least mine have no road noise as of yet). They do get stiff in the cold, but thats because they are 10ply. They are good in the snow, and ice is ice.
I've driven 65.000km and I'm through one set of Continental All Season Contact 1 and one set of Nexen.
The all season contact lasted for 35.000km the Nexen one for two summer.
IMO those tires were bottom of the barrel. I would just replace.
I have vibrations on my Wildpeaks as well, you aren't alone. Been in to re balance repeatedly. Doesn't matter, still shakes. I gave up on it and just live with it. Don't know if I'll run them again.
