Tires Falken or Firestone

Falken Rubitrek. I don't go off road much so they are as aggressive as I need, but with better road manners.

Falken wildpeak work fantastic on snow and year round

I got falken tires. The OEM Dunlop tires that came with the 2019 was so bad I would step the break the abs would be pumping and I would slide for a fair distance. The falken I get good grip in winter not so good with rain but I can maneuver better in rain even though I slide a bit.

I put Falken wild peaks on my 21 when I first bought it, and just replaced them at 71,000 miles. They still had plenty of tread, but they were starting to dry rot. It was my fault for using degreaser to clean my tires. I put the exact same tires back on.

WRX just changed out it’s stock Dunlop to Falken Aklimate at 68k miles and haven’t even changed it into its Blizzaks for winter. It held up beautifully even when we had ice shut down I-80 and a good portion of Nebraska. Liked the Aklimate so much I got our Chevy HHR a set along with new rims. Daughter had absolutely no issues on ice with them.

If you haven’t replaced the stock geolandsrs do yourself a favor and go get some falken wildpeak AT. Way better tires. Less road noise but more traction.

Get a set of Falken Wildpeak Trail A/Ts and rotate them every 10k front to back. You can run them all year and get 60k miles out of them.

I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.

I would recommend just outright avoiding Firestone. Aside from Firestone tires being garbage (except the Transforce line)

They are absolutely trash in the snow and for being relatively worn smooth at this point, they have been noisier than anything in 30 years of driving.
