Tires Falken or GISLAVED

I had studded gislaved nord frost tires on a FWD Chevy Spectrum back in the day and was unstoppable.

Working as a ski guide in the Canadian Rockies and running the AT3W on my Tacoma and I love them. Driving snowy highways before plows and un-maintained FSRs they are phenomenal. The only downside is on glare ice they struggle but with that kind of tire any would.

I’ve got a set of Wildpeak AT Trails on my ‘17. Had them for maybe 3 years now. Went with 235/60r17 because I’ve got 17x8 wheels(1in wider than stock). Been a bit louder, but that’s the way ATs are. Being that they’re heavier, there’s more weight getting forced towards the body of the vehicle when you hit bumps/jolts. That extra weight is gonna jolt the body more than the lighter tires/wheels. Mine went from riding like a touring car to feeling like an actual SUV after the change.

For 3 seasons I get good year reliants (100 USD each) for winter falken aklimate that are 3 peak rated (140 USD each) no issues in lite to moderate snow. I don't have extreme snow in Texas.

I agree with top comment. Had Falken Wildpeak Trail on three different cars now. Best all around tire for an amazing price.

Running 32 psi on mine 225/60r17 for over a year and while a little stiffer than the stock ones, that is expected and not even noticeable after a while.

I'm on set number 5 right now, and they are one of the best all terrain tires for ride quality I've driven, and I've driven Subarus for over 40 years.

I get them for my 13 highlander.

No complaints at all.

Gislaved is a Continental brand: they are OK-ish tires at best.

They're absolutely terrible and in my mind it's a bit of a slap in the face to customers to say it's a car that can do both off-road and city, then give it tires that are absolutely horse shit.
