I'm riding the falken wildpeaks. Drove a week, and the tires helped me one night that I drove while it was raining, and a deer (probably a buck honestly) hit the back of my truck while running across the road. I should've lost grip, but those tires held. I kept them and didn't look back. They do take down MPG and have some road noise. They are on the heavy side, but honestly? I love them. Someone also noted bumpiness, but my truck is a bit more heavy with bit metal bumpers, front and rear

Pros: excellent grip in rain, love them
Cons: dropped MPG, road noise, heavy
Vehicle: Toyota

Firestone Tires

I've been pretty happy with the cost/benefit of Firestone Indyhawk/Indy500/whatever they're calling them these days, on the stock wheels. They don't last long (I get 10-15k miles out of a set) but they're damn cheap ($650-$750), and break traction quite easily and predictably, if you enjoy going a little sideways often. I usually am running the Flying Miata alignment specs with these tires break loose fantastically easily and enjoyable for me on that alignment. On a factory alignment though they are reasonably grippy for spirited street driving. Again though the biggest benefit of them is they are super widely available (because Firestone) and CHEAP.

Pros: good cost/benefit, predictable traction, widely available, cheap, reasonably grippy
Cons: don't last long

With regular tire rotation I used the tires that came with the car for 65000 miles. I think the brand was Falken. 2019 Forester. My driving is mostly city driving in New York City, which has rough roads.

Pros: long lifespan (65k miles)
Mileage: 104607 km

My 2019 Crosstrek Limited made it to 90k miles on the original Falken Ziex tires before it got close to the wear indicator. Probably coulda done better if I rotated as often as I was supposed to

Pros: extremely long lifespan (90k miles)
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 144841 km

I ran 265/70/17 Wildpeaks on my stock 2018 for years and had no major issues with them. They are a bit heavy and my personal experience was they did not balance the best, but maybe that was addressed with the AT4s.

Pros: no major issues
Cons: a bit heavy, did not balance well
Vehicle: Toyota

I got 60k out of Falken Wildpeak A/T. Only rotated them once, probably could have gotten 70k if I rotated them more frequently. Mostly highway miles.

Pros: long lifespan (60k miles)

I don’t know about Falken AT/4, but the AT3’s were the worst tire I’ve ever owned.

Bad enough that I’d never consider a Falken product again. Punctured easy, (three flats in 30,000 miles, first one within 4,000 miles). Rock grabbers and rock throwers. Terrible in deep snow.

Cons: punctured easy, terrible snow
Mileage: 48280 km
