Tires Falken or Continental

I switched to a higher grade continental all season and they are stellar.

I moved to Falken Wildpeak AT4W 265/70/17’s on my non-lifted 2020 TRD Sport last year. No rubbing whatsoever.

I put Falken Aklimate's on my Honda Fit and it was night and day in the snow, they're also quieter in the summer.

I use Continental Top Contact Winter Premium II (what a name...) and have been very pleased with them.

I bought a set of the Viking 8s this season, I've had them on for about a month now. Over the years I've had Yokohama IceGuards, Blizzak WS90s, Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice and Snow, Firestone WinterForce and the X Ice Snow. The Conti's have been the best of all. Very very quiet, comparable to an all season, sure footed in a blizzard, did well in heavy ice fog and very good in the wet.

I have an AWD Volvo with haldex too and just drove it in a snow storm and only slid unintentionally once. I\u2019m also running all seasons that are 3 peak rated(Falken Aklimate) and once again have had no issues in the wet heavy slick snow going both down and uphill and with heavy foot accelerations on flat ground.

Snow tires have been one of the best decisions I made with my '25 WRX. I decided to go with the Continental Viking Contact 8, and my goodness, are they fantastic. In the Western New York area (Buffalo) we get dumped on regularly, and sometimes it doesn't let up. For years, I used all-seasons, but switching to proper tires for winter has made a difference like no other.

I\u2019ve never had a problem with my Continental DWS06 plus\u2019s. 2 winters coming up on third and haven\u2019t slipped or slid ONCE in western pa winters. Highly recommend.

I’ve had a decent experience with my Falken Rubitreks, they’re not a true winter but they perform well enough

Not only will they not hold up, they suck in every category otherwise...sound,traction,comfort.
