Tires Falken or Kumho

Kumho Tires

The Kumho is a far superior tire from a respected manufacturer based in South Korea. The Radar might look like the better deal up front, but it will likely wear fast and not perform anywhere near as good as the Kumho tires.

Pros: superior tire, respected manufacturer
Cons: wears fast, poor performance

I had those Kumhos on my mustang and found they were really good. No complaints about them. I highly recommend them especially for the price

Pros: really good, no complaints

I'm in Vancouver where it constantly rains for half the year and I haven't noticed any issue with the stock Kumhos whether in the city or on the highway.

Even in the snow, I felt they performed fine driving at half the speed limit in the city.

Pros: performed fine in snow
Cons: none
Vehicle: Kia

I got a set of Kuhmo's 2 years ago and I have no complaints. For the price I paid, I love them. They feel like the Michelin and Continental tires I have had previously, but I don't know if they will last as long.

Pros: great value, good quality
Cons: longevity unknown

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.

Pros: wearing great
Cons: heavy
Mileage: 30000 km

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.

Pros: damn good tire, minimal noise

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.

Pros: best in all conditions
Cons: heavy, drop in MPG

I heard Kumho don't last very long, but are good for the first 10,000 miles and not good at all by 30,000 miles.

Pros: good for first miles
Cons: don't last long

2nd Gen not 5th but I replaced the ancient tires on my 4runner with wildpeaks and had them on for a few years. Hated them. Hated driving curves in the rain on pavement. Roundabouts would lose traction even in summer and as you know, these are NOT cars with a fast takeoff. They were quiet, I'll give them that.

Pros: quiet
Cons: hated driving curves, lose traction

I’ve got the Falken Wildpeaks on a 2008 F350 Dually and they’re ok on dry roads. I put them on all seven wheels 6 + the spare) in 2019 and do regular rotations. Today while pulling one to get a slow leak fixed I noticed substantial weather checking down between the lugs; it concerns me, even though it’s been 3.5 years I’m nowhere near the 50,000 miles tread wear warranty. I’ll add these tires really suck in any kind of slick mud and snow/ice on or off the road. Terrible on ice and snow.

Pros: ok on dry roads
Cons: suck in mud, snow, ice
Vehicle: Ford
