Tires Falken or Hifly

I had them years ago on a plow truck and holy crap were they good in the snow.

My Wildpeak at3 held up to 90k miles. Highway use with cell tower trails between highway runs. They are a great tire.

I have just over 1000 miles on the falkens, and on road, I don't think I could tell the difference between them and the Michelin crossover tires that I had before. They're obviously much better off road.

Mostly road driving with a little off road. I love them.

I’m happier with the Falkens, to be honest. Quiet on the road and show less wear.

AT4W - 265/75R/16 stock SR suspension.

Initial weekend thoughts:

- I sit slightly higher with these bigger tires. Just barely enough for me to notice though as I look over my steering wheel. I previously had on the stock 245/75R/16 HW tires.

-MPG’s don’t take a hit on regular roadways up to 45 MPH but getting on the freeway is when I feel some resistance. The truck feels heavier/slower and MPGs are reduced by 2-3 MPGs on the freeway as I’m accelerating more frequently to reach and stay at my desired speed.

-There is virtually no road noise difference from the stock tires, at least not what I’ve been able to tell so far.

-I feel the road more, speed bumps feel more sensitive for example.

-The A/T tread is picking and throwing up some rocks from the road.

I’ve only had them for the weekend so far but I love the functionality of these tires and they also add that desired aggressive look I have been longing for. I’m excited to take these off pavement real soon.

with the Falkens on, the traction is a lot better than the stock Hankooks.

I got slightly larger tires (I think 235/65/r17 but could be wrong) but they fit and look nice. Falkan wild peaks, they’re 3 ply and slightly heavier so they’re basically a money sink. Worse fuel economy, more road noise, more expensive to purchase. Buuuuut… Look cooler, better off road / snow performance, less likely to pop from impact.

Falkens don't last more than 30k miles.The rubber starts to break down after 16mo. Tread is fine, but they start to crack at the shoulder. Even if you rotate them like a good human, even if you park in a heated garage, even if you wash your car every week or two. Big box tire shop and the manufacturer won't so anything for you either. Happened to me and will NEVER buy them again.

I must say that they are fine in dry weather, but in the wet… Absolutely dangerous! They have no gripe at all.
