Tires Falken or DUNLOP

Not the same tires, but I’m currently running the Falken Azenis FK460 all season in 255/35/18 and I’ve been super impressed with them considering it’s an all season. Steering is still very precise, the tires are quiet on the highway and they’re communicative as grip loads up, and it breaks away progressively.

I have ridge grapplers and I really like them, but if I were only doing what you were planning on I would go back to wildpeak AT3s. Those tires were actually amazing.

Falken Wildpeaks are the best AT tire in the rain by far. I live in the PNW and drive in the rain pretty much constantly.

I went with 265/60/18 Wildpeaks on my 22 AWD turbo and really like them a LOT. No rubbing even off road and much better grip all around especially in wet conditions. I even pulled a 1000lb trailer down 50 miles of beach without even THINKING about getting stuck. I even kinda tried to push it a few times in deep sand and the tires just didn’t dig in, they went forward even WITHOUT lowering the air pressure in the tires.

I wore out my first set of AT3s and replaced them with KO2s because the tire store only had 3 wildpeaks in stock, but had four KO2s. Drove it for a couple days and hated them. Ordered four AT4s and a week later had them changed out. Much better tire than the Bridgestones.

I’ve got around 20k miles on mine and have hardly worn honestly.

Got these on mine and literally the best wet weather tire I have ever used…better performance than any NITTO or BFG I have ever had.

My dunlops had about 8-9k miles on them and were down to 3/32" front, and 4/32" rear.

They are super grippy so they wear faster.

I never had any slipping in the rain.

I’ve had the Wildpeaks on my lifted Sienna for 15,000km. They are already down to 6/32 hydroplane in rain and spin out on paved sanded road up to the ski hill.  There wasn’t even any snow on the road and 4 cars behind me passed when I had to stop in the middle of the road because I could not move forward. I’m not impressed.

I have a pair of Dunlop Wintermaxx’s and they seemed like great tires, very gripping with dry roads. However, when it rains or is wet, they seem to absolutely suck. I start skidding/sliding even on simple turns at low speeds, even in a round a bout.
