Tires Falken or Goodyear

For me, Falken/Sumitomo has been the perfect balance between value and performance

My Falken tires are extremely affordable and they grip better than my Pirellis in every real-world situation that I’ve needed the grip.

Just put on 265/65/18 SL wildpeak at4w on an otherwise stock 2012 GX and can confirm that they will fit with no rubbing. Compared to the Michelin latitudes that were on before, the feel on the road is noticeably better, i.e. more plush but also more planted... if that makes sense. Road noise is minimal difference in my mind but I have a skybox on top so maybe I'm just used to it. Being in pnw, wet traction is a must and these should do the trick.

Have a set on Mustang Gt for over a year. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Quiet, decent in the rain, better grip than the Falkens it replaced.

Well, I’m the OP, and I ended up getting a set of Goodyear Wrangler Radials 235/75r/15. It’s been about 4 months with these tires, and these ride really cushy and soft which I like, compared to the Kumho regular all season tires that I used to have which used to ride like complete trash over potholes and bumps.

Also, the Goodyear wrangler radials have pretty good traction even in the rain, and surprisingly quiet for an all terrain tire.

I got the Goodyear Reliant on my 2016 Crosstrek and they are very nice and ride especially quiet. Very happy with my purchase for the price paid.

I got 50k out of a set of OEM LS-2’s on my AWD Ford Fusion. Not a Goodyear guy at all, but these tires were very good.

I've had the Falken Wildpeaks now for about 40,000 miles. I didn't notice any gas mileage change. The only issue with the tires is that as they have worn, the road noise has gotten pretty loud. 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn.

I replaced my factory tires at only 9000 miles. then I purchased falcon wildpeaks that wore down so fast that I was able to prorate the tire warranty at only 18,000 miles usage.

Those look like the same tread as Goodyear run-flats I have on a vehicle and they are looking similar. The tires were installed in 2020 and have less than 30k miles on them. Worst tire I’ve ever bought.
