Falken Wild Peak AT3s, look good and have been great in wet and snow I've been in so far
I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
I'm a Falken guy. Forget all those other over- priced name brands.
Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k
Interesting.
The tread on these looks a lot like my wildpeak at trail tires in the us. Nothing but good things to say about those in pretty much every condition, so maybe worth a try.
These tires look great! Your pic was the main reason I bought the same for my CX-9 and they look just as great!
I run Pirelli Sottozero runflats every Winter, mostly highway driving, very happy with them.
I've had these on for a few days, so I can't give a comprehensive review, but here are my first impressions.
The 70,000 mile warranty was the biggest selling point here. These are 700AA on the UTQG scale, so much harder than the 400 UTQG Continentals that I'm used to. I expected stiffer feel over bumps and louder road noise since they don't have foam, but these actually seem softer and quieter. The traction is noticeably worse in dry conditions, haven't tested on wet roads. I got them to spin out from a stop, but maybe that was just breaking them in, because now they don't seem to lose traction. The biggest downside is the reduced steering precision. These have a very wavy wandering feedback to inputs, my friend says it may be 'tread crawl' from having thicker treads than the old ones. The Continentals felt like a scalpel on winding roads, these are more like a rubber scalpel.
I need to try a few more situations, like rain, but I think I'm going to end up liking these better because the increased comfort is more useful to me than the performance.
I forget what there were called, but I had Pirelli snow tires on my previous XC60 and absolutely hated them. Very.. wishy-washy unstable feeling. I replaced them with Blizzaks and will never own another snow tire. The Pirelli was just not as quality as I wanted it to be. Poor life, poor grip, poor dry pavement feel and LOUD.
AT3W 100%. My 2016 4x4 Tacoma actually came with new KO2s from the dealer and they were the biggest POS tire ever. Terrible. I would slip in rain all the time it nearly caused a few wrecks. Off-road it was just ok. Meanwhile the falkens felt amazing both on road or off-road , rain or dirt. With a 55k warranty. Best tires I’ve ever owned.
