Tires Falken or Giti

I put some Falken Ziex A/S on, no complaints.  Was about $850 installed.  Rides great, handles great

I got the wildpeak a/t trail on my hybrid...loved it, went on a snow drive to Tahoe and it's lovely

I've got the AT3W on my 4R with about 30k miles on them and I love them. They 275s in a C-load so they're HEAVY, but they're wearing great.

I’ve had my AT3’s for about 3 years now. I live in Arizona and drive in the desert a lot and occasionally rainy/snowy slush roads in the winter over never ever had a issue and the noise is minimal to me. Just overall a damn good tire.

Wildpeaks over all the others. I have hundreds of thousands of miles experience with all three and the Falkens are by far the best in all conditions and remain consistent over the life of tread. The KOs will get louder and offer less traction the more miles you put on them, the Toyos, in my experience don't last that long at all. My WPs have stayed relatively quiet and continued to offer the same traction on/offroad throughout their life, I've also been getting roughly 70-80k miles out of them before even considering replacing them.

The downside to the Falkens is that they're very heavy compared to the others. I noticed a sizeable drop in MPG for sure.

My work truck has been on Falken tires since a few months before I got it 25,000 miles ago. I have never had any issues with stopping distance and the tread is still a 7 on the most worn of the four. I'd say they aren't so bad

Falken Wildpeak a/t Trail unless you never go off-road or have to deal with bad weather.

I actually owned the 365AW and the Aklimates. The 365’s were very good in the slight amount of snow (Long Island, NY) I drove them in and were all around great. The aklimates I didn’t have a chance to drive in the snow but had a weird hum that I wasn’t fond of.

yes they wear terrible..are noisey and get poor mpg...its a heavy stiff tire.I had them and switched to cross climate 2 year round and they were way better in water/snow and dry..they are quiet and same mpg as oem for me.

Whatever you do, don’t get the Giti comfort tires that came on the Passat. They’re dog water at everything, treadwear, wet or try traction, road noise.
