I've had the wild peaks for years and love them, ill probably replace them with another set. That being said I do a fair amount of snow driving and trail driving in the summer.
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.
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.
The AT4’s are only slightly louder than the defenders (almost not noticeable) and mpg is probably 1/2 to 1 mpg less. One thing that surprised me though, even though they are 3 peak snow rated they feel less sure footed on light snow than the Defenders.
Falken Ecorun ZE310s. Do not recommend whatsoever, it feels like driving on balloons. No steering feel, super delayed turn response, understeery, unpredictable, and far too much sidewall flex.
I bought the RT660s because I wanted to save money after running the RE71s.....regretted it. Just doing one season and switching back. The pressures are weird ( need to run way higher than RE71s) and they feel like ice skates on asphalt.
