Tires Falken or Kumho

Stock Flakens have been great for me! 12k miles and no issues off road.

The AT4's are absolutely better tires than the KO2's.

I’ve been running Kuhmo from Walmart for nearly 2 years and they’ve been awesome!

Falken Wildpeaks have not let me down

A better budget option for Ohio would be the falken aklimate or other all weather equivalents, just saying the aklimate because it's really good for the price and performance

In that size, and I know because I run the same, is the unsexy (and unbothered by it) Kumho Ecsta V730. Good tire, quick tire, lives well with the heat, takes abuse from camber limited cars, and is the cheapest super 200 out there.

I liked mine. Recently moved to falken wildpeak at4w and like them a lot too. If you do any towing I think the at4w feel a little bit stiffer which is nice for towing.

Downsized to a 17 inch wheel with Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails and the ride quality is actually better (there are a lot of potholes where I live), plus the additional peace of mind that when I drive on gravel forest roads I am less likely to get a puncture compared to all season tires.

The OEM Crugen is a mediocre tire, like most OEM tires, and they’re less than $250 retail.

I have had Kuhmo Solus all weathers and they were very loud. I know that’s a different model that you posted but I went with Yokohama Avid GT for a similar price and they’re great and quieter
