Tires Falken or BRIDGESTONE

Huge upgrade from the Michelins I had, which were horrible for fuel economy.

The Bridgestone Weatherpeak is a better option. The WeatherPeaks have the advantage of being able to be actually rotated correctly.

Currently I’m running Bridgestone Potenza all season and they are good overall. Not as grippy as the continental, but unless you’re doing track days or a lot of street racing, you won’t really notice any difference. They’ve been comfortable and give pretty much the same MPG as the continentals I had before.

Falken AT4W on my Jeep. Highly recommend them for your Jeep

(2009 R1) Used S22's in heavy rain and roasting hot on track then used them to commute the following day. Worked perfectly fine in all conditions.

If I'm going to be out in off road or real snowy conditions I want my wildpeaks. It's not as good on the road as the defenders but it's reasonably close.

I can't speak to the defenders here but the Falken I have had 2 sets on my F150 I live in East Central Alberta so we can alot of snow and Ice and I loved the Falkens on Snow, Gravel, in the fields and the highway.

Can’t speak to the defenders but I have E rated Wildpeak AT4Ws and I’m very happy with them. Excellent off road traction and good road performance. No noticeable increase to road noise.

I actually owned the 365AW and the Aklimates. The 365’s were very good in the slight amount of snow (Long Island, NY) I drove them in and were all around great. The aklimates I didn’t have a chance to drive in the snow but had a weird hum that I wasn’t fond of.

Honestly I think it's bad business for Bridgestone to ship such crap tires on this vehicle, since it's turned me off from buying any Bridgestone tire in the future.
