Tires Falken or DUNLOP

Falken Wildpeak AT4 in load range SL have been fantastic. I had older Duratraks on it before, and hated them.

Sailun Terramax AT2, or Falken Rubitrek AT01, only tires i will run on mine. The falkens are amazing on fuel economy and noise, Sailuns are cheaper and only slightly nosier, still good fuel economy.

My wife has the Wildpeak A/T on her Crosstrek, 225 tread width. Absolutely bonkers incredible tires, but the next set will be 215. In the snow, the narrower width cuts down noticeably better in deeper snow.

I just got the Falken Rubitrek and have to say I'm quite impressed with their wet weather and snow/ice handling. My truck feels glued to the road.

I took a set of 7/32 tread depth firestone ft140\u2019s off my little daily driver Toyota Corolla and went with a set of Falken Aklimates. They run quieter, cost less, and last longer than the cross climates (which I also sell) and are my most recommended tire for cars and small SUV\u2019s.

I used to run Mickey Thompson mud tires on my Jeep. The last set had something like 60% tread life remaining when they were so cupped out and obnoxious I couldn't stand it anymore. I yanked them off, and decided to give a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3s a try. The Falkens were significantly less expensive, better mannered, and 40-50,000 miles later, they're barely even worn. On the same vehicle. Without any mods or maintenance to the suspension, which obviously wasn't the reason the Mickeys cupped out. These are excellent tires, and I would buy Falkens again, no question. On the other side of the line, I got a set of Sumitomos for my truck, and when I wore those out, I dug deep and ponied up for a set of Michelins the next time. The Sumitomos just didn't do it for me.

For a summer tire for a road car I think the Dunlop ZIII are a good choice. Long in the tooth and not competitive as a track tire anymore but great in the rain and great on the road.

These tires do not have the same level of grip that the Tempesta P1, RE-71RS, A052s, etc. have, so do not buy these thinking you'll be competitive, because you probably won't be.

Besides that, lets start with the good sides of this tire.

-Very consistent. They do not lose grip even as they get hot, nor do they lack a ton of grip when they're cold.

-Fantastic treadwear. These will definitely last you a couple seasons at the very least. They hold their grip well throughout the entirety of the tread range.

-Responds well to inputs. While these don't have the pure grip of a super 200 tire, they respond well to inputs and are eager to change direction when you need to.

Now lets get to the bad.

-VERY unpredictable. If you start hearing even slight tire squealing, you are right on the limit of grip. These tires snap out from under you easily if you're not careful or don't know the characteristics of these tires.

-Like I said before, these lack a lot of grip compared to the super 200s, but thats kinda something you should expect when buying these tires.

Overall, I'd give the RT615K+ a solid 7/10. They're not very competitive but they're a lot of fun, they're a great tire to learn on, they offer good value in the longevity department, but they're unpredictable compared to some other tires.

Faulkens are hot garbage. Had them on our subaru ascent and also on our cx90. On our ascent they lasted 22,000 lol

I tell ya, I have 22k on mine and they are terrible. I drove in some wet snow today and was terrified. Zero traction at all, so bad it caused me to order new tires today.
