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.

Pros: quiet, grippier on pavement

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.

Pros: amazing tires, great grip

Falken Tires

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.

Pros: competitive in wet, snow, ice
Cons: suffers with dry handling

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

Pros: performed so well, no issues
Cons: not lasting as long
Mileage: 48280 km

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.

Pros: grip the road better
Cons: less bouncy
Mileage: 103000 km

Achilles Tires

Best budget tire brand I’ve used is Achilles

Not a lot of ratings online but I live on the coast in NC where snow is pretty much a non issue. They handle good in wet weather, typical notes are they don’t do well in snow but aside from Michelin many all season’s don’t

The Achilles Touring Sport A/S 225/65R17 or their dessert hawks should be fine

I’ve used achilles on several cars for the last 10 years or so and they are a great bang for the buck. I tried them out a set of their ATR sport tires on my veloster N because I was going through Michelin pilot super sports like nothing and never looked back.

Pros: great bang for buck
Cons: not good in snow

Rt660 I have mixed experience with, on fwd with a narrower size they came apart and wore out quickly. In a rwd 315 application they seem to last forever

Pros: last forever
Cons: wore out quickly

I've only ever used one set of Falkan tires and will never use them again. Just very very loud tire hum compared to Bridgestone or Michelin.

Cons: very loud tire hum
