Tires Nexen or Falken
I just got KO2’s on my 21 sport, I had falken wildpeaks and I will say, the Falkens were basically silent compared to the Ko2’s and performed really well in the snow
I had a set of 215 Toyo Open Country AT3s and ran them for 60k miles until getting a set of 235 Falken Wildpeaks. I’m only about 18k miles in to the Falken but so far so great. Much better in snow however, but not flawless, don’t forget your recovery gear lol
The falken wildpeaks all trail tires are great. I have them on my 24 sport right now. They’re much quieter then the KO2’s and weigh significantly less. The decrease in rotating mass would relieve the stress of running heavy tires such as the KO2’s.
I drove about 100,000 miles in the Midwest on wild peaks in every driving condition, I was very happy with them. Extremely grippy.
I replaced mine with Falken Aklimate. I highly recommend, improved cornering, highway, and it just feels good on the road. I like the design as well!
Nexen, depending on the model (avoid the CPxxx models otherwise excellent tires) are great tires and would be a lateral move from the RT43...
Those falken stock tires on my Trek got me everywhere so far! Never put air in them once just trekking through everything just all seasons and took the snow like a champ.
Had them on my Cruze they’re a smooth, pretty quite ride and durable.
Original tires replaced @ \~25,000mi. I've got Falkens on them. To be honest, they're fine. Road noise is unobtrusive. In the \~1,000 +/- miles they've been on I've not noticed anything at all to be concerned about.
yea they trash... on my 01 cardon the fronts are 4/32 and back a little more at 6/32. But I only have 11k miles on this car. Rotated every 6k miles.. straight trash tire. meaning by 20k or before i'll be replacing..
