Tires Falken or Goodyear

Cool Cool…thanks for the feedback. Got AT3W 285’s on 2nd gen. Tacoma last year. Went to do the same with our 4Runners last month and had to go AT4W’s 285’s. Had them for short time but as you said …”tires are amazing” Nice rig OP!

I agree, have had mine on for about 8,000kms and gone through the summer and recently 30cm of snow and -30C temps. Recently rotated and all tires wore evenly with proper alignment done from the start.

I typically run Nokian Hakka LT3 for winter but wanted to try these out this season to see how they compare to my previous experience with KO2.

Agree with everything OP has mentioned, but sub -20C you can really feel the performance drop compared to dedicated winters.

In short, these tires are amazing!

Pros:

- For being AT tires, they're very quiet. Yes I know AT tires get louder as they get worn out, but these have been excellent so far on dry highway.

- They're excellent in rain, no hydroplaning.

- They're excellent in snow.

- They're excellent off-roading.

- Tires look beefy! Give the 4R an aggressive look.

- I got C-load, no need for E-load as I don't do hardcore stuff like in the west.

Cons:

- As expected with most AT tires, they're heavy, but nig enough to make the 4R any slower.

- Even though they are stock size, they're bigger than the stock Dunlops in every dimension. The beefy outer knobs rubbed at full lock when reversing so had to trim the bottom bumper by grinding it down and also a bit on the inside liner.

I took off my KO2s from my Sorento. They wore well and still had useable tread after 55k miles. But I was tired of the noise and ride on the highway. I put on a set of these Wildpeak tires and am VERY satisfied. They are pretty quiet, ride nice, and are darn good on wet, muddy, or snowy roads.

Goodyear Trailmark ATs bought from Walmart. Lasted me almost 6 years. Replacing due to normal wear and tear. Tread is nowhere near bald.

Just picked up at4’s last week! Loving them so far ????????

Gone over the snowy mountain passes for 2 winters on my at3. Love them.

I have them. Great tires. But they reduced my efficiency. Very grippy.

They’re near useless in mud, snow or ice. Mine still have plenty of tread left in them, and I’m still getting new tires installed on Friday, because they were already sketchy in the snow last winter.

I have the GY Wrangler A/T's on my 22 OR. I (personal opinion) can't stand Good Year tires. I've never had a pair worth a shit, ever. I'm just too cheap to dump 1k on tires when the ones I have still hold air. That's about all they are good for. Mine have terrible wet traction, especially when turning.
