Tires Falken or Laufenn

I run falken tyres have done now for about 5 years! Mainly just because I liked the look of the tread patterns ???? no issues so far though!

Falken Wildpeaks A/T3W. They are great in rain, mud, snow, and are not loud on the highway. A bit pricey though, about $220 per tire.

These Falkens were great in the snow and the very little dirt road driving I’ve done.

I have the Falken Sincera SN250 A/S and looking on Tire Rack, they seem to be a direct upgrade to your Laufenns for about $10 more each. Might be worth a try. I've found them to be quiet and absorbing of bumps and road weirdness. Also lightweight feeling.

I changed my tires to the non-OEM Wildpeak AT3W in size 285/75R18. Effectively 34" tall. No modifications/lift, only slight rub. Fuel economy is essentially unchanged with 75k kms in the larger tires. I didn't notice any significant difference in ride or noise. But I was much more pleased with the look of the tire filling out the wheel wells much better.

Laufenns are great. I run G fit AS year round in the snow on both of our cars.

I went Falken Wildpeak AT4W P285/70R17 SL which is almost stock at 32.8" on my scs 17x8.5 +20 wheels and am totally satisfied. Almost stock weight and size but with a "truck" look.

I’ve enjoyed mine as well, and I’m about due for a new set.

But, just tossing this out there, I found they aren’t as grabby in soft sand or wet snow as I would have liked (conditions I find myself in).

They’re hyped up, and I liked mine, but don’t plan on getting them again.

These tires are terrible in snow and off road. Fine on the highway and in rain, though.

My pro has the AT3W and they were worn down by 20k miles. Dealer put a new set on for free with the tire service campaign. I’ll be getting a set of Toyos or KO3s when these wear out.
