Tires Falken or Maxxis

Got to 45k and replaced em with wild peaks and I’d 100% recommend them for looks and traction so far.

Just got Falken Trails. Really happy with them.

Falken Wildpeak AT Trail. Great traction in sand and gravel, decent in light snow. Much quieter than General Grabber AT2, or BFG KO2

Falken RT660. Just used them yesterday. Good enough for a podium in class!

I’d stick with tried and true. Falken

FWIW - I dropped my stock 17” wheels down to 16” Sparco Terra wheels and run Falken Wildpeak Trail tires. Awesome year round and we get a lot of snow in New England.

They are 255/60/19 flalken wildpeak AT. They ride great make no noise as well. The only downside is the weight the difference in brake feel is night and day.

New tires for the touareg pretty happy with how they look. Although the brakes are much stiffer from the additional weight.

I'm definitely replacing the stock tires with Wildpeaks in the spring. In the snow, the stock tires are pretty good, but ice forms very quickly with Vancouver snow and that's where the stock tires fail for me. Noticeably more slippery on ice than a proper 3PMSF rated tire.

The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
