Tires Falken or Cooper

I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.

So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.

Fallen FK510s were the closest thing I found to the Primacy but didn’t carry the Primacy’s price tag.

I had BFG K02 on an old tacoma, they were great, but kinda sucked on wet pavement. I currently have wildpeak AT3 on my 4runner and love them. I've abused them on trails and they can definitely stand up to it all.

Falkens all day. I ran 245/35ZR20. I loved the ride and the kornering

Have had two sets of Falken Ziex tires on my ascent, low road noise, good in snow (New England) and great wear.

The Fallken ate great.

The Falken's are the only thing on that list I would run. I have ran those same falkens on 2 vehicles even. They were good tires in all ways. But not necessarily great in anything, but tread life.

JUST installed the Wild Peaks AT4W last week and went on a 750 mile road trip (mainly highways) right after and noise was very minimal and I didn't see a huge hit on the MPG.

I have Falkens now, and am considering the Geolanders because they do slightly better in the rain. I'm not sure which is better in the snow. The Falkens have been fantastic in the snow, as you probably know, but I find traction isn't great on wet roads.

Buyer beware. Stay away from these Pep Boy exclusive tires. My wife was drawn in by the "buy 3 get 1" promotion and bought the Cooper Adventure tires for her minivan. These are the worst tires that we've ever had. The tires could not be balanced correctly.
