Tires OEM Mazda or Falken
I just put at4’s on my JLUS - just as quiet as the factory AT’s and feel the same on the freeway - feel grippier on dry pavement than stock, haven’t had a chance to try them in the rain yet.
I’ve been really happy the AT3’s I got year before last, they perform admirably offroad and in snow, and they are great on the highway to boot
I’ve had the falken at3’s for the last 4 years. Amazing tires that have treated me very well. Great in all conditions with good throttle control and very good wet weather grip compared to the KO2’s I had before.
Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
I'm on my second set. I got just about 64k miles over three years before they were cracking and down to 3/32. I just don't have the same confidence in those so I went back to the A/T Trails. They definitely grip the road better and are less bouncy.
I highly recommend the Wildpeaks. Had them on my 2500. Got nearly 80k out of a set.
I recently bought some Falken Azenis FK460 A/S and am thrilled with them. Sticky but quiet and smooth. Perhaps a bit less crisp that the Pirelli P Zero AS I had previously but just as sticky when they were new and they are quieter and ride better, should last longer. A softer sidewall should also help off road.
I've had the Falken Wildpeaks now for about 40,000 miles. I didn't notice any gas mileage change. The only issue with the tires is that as they have worn, the road noise has gotten pretty loud. 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn.
I club race an NA Miata and I'm $40k in before you count recurring costs like tires, fuel, entry fees, etc. Its an expensive sport!
