Tires Falken or DUNLOP

Falken Tires

I barely have to put my truck into 4wheel in snow now that I switched to Wildpeaks. The amount of grip compared to the stock tires is insane. Also pretty quiet and my mpg’s only dropped for city driving, same mpg’s for highway.

Pros: insane amount of grip, pretty quiet
Cons: mpg dropped city driving

I love the Wildpeaks but mine have started to spin a bit from a stop after about 20k. Looks like I'll get 50-60k out of them though.

Pros: love the Wildpeaks
Cons: spin a bit
Mileage: 20000 km

I just switched to wildpeaks too and they are great in the snow and rain so far. The stock tires on the SR5 were a liability and would always slip whenever the weather took a turn.

Pros: great in snow and rain
Cons: stock tires were liability

Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Live in the Seattle area and they’re great in the rain, but I spend a lot of the winter at a second home in the North Cascades and they are killer for the ice and snow. Incredibly quiet, too!

Pros: great in rain, killer for ice
Cons: none

Falken Winterpeaks. I find they’re just as good as Blizzaks, but cheaper.

Pros: just as good
Cons: but cheaper

Have Dunlop Sig HP 235/45r17 on my Volt. Not a bad tire. Grip is much higher than the stockers of course. Weird thing though, around 2 different off ramps at a similar speed to the stock tires, the ESP light comes on. I know it is getting light on the back inside tire, but I am coasting, not braking. Though, not sure how the regen works with the rear tires. So maybe the car is braking the back tires at the same amount as the regen is braking the front axle? Either way, never got an ESP light on any cornering with stock tires, and get it occasionally with the new ones. Slight slight bit of howl, but coming from the crap hypermile OE tires, everything is going to be louder. For the price I paid, I will not complain a bit.

Pros: grip is much higher
Cons: ESP light comes on, slight howl

Cons: starting to slip

Car is terrible with stock Falken tires. It goes OK, but stops terrible. I was actually suprised when I took mine out for the first time in the snow. Slide down the hill.

Pros: goes OK
Cons: stops terrible, slide down
Vehicle: Volkswagen
