Tires Falken or MRF

Falken wildpeak work fantastic on snow and year round

I got falken tires. The OEM Dunlop tires that came with the 2019 was so bad I would step the break the abs would be pumping and I would slide for a fair distance. The falken I get good grip in winter not so good with rain but I can maneuver better in rain even though I slide a bit.

I put Falken wild peaks on my 21 when I first bought it, and just replaced them at 71,000 miles. They still had plenty of tread, but they were starting to dry rot. It was my fault for using degreaser to clean my tires. I put the exact same tires back on.

WRX just changed out it’s stock Dunlop to Falken Aklimate at 68k miles and haven’t even changed it into its Blizzaks for winter. It held up beautifully even when we had ice shut down I-80 and a good portion of Nebraska. Liked the Aklimate so much I got our Chevy HHR a set along with new rims. Daughter had absolutely no issues on ice with them.

If you haven’t replaced the stock geolandsrs do yourself a favor and go get some falken wildpeak AT. Way better tires. Less road noise but more traction.

Get a set of Falken Wildpeak Trail A/Ts and rotate them every 10k front to back. You can run them all year and get 60k miles out of them.

I put Falken Aklimates on my X3 6months ago and haven’t had any issues. Smoother ride that the Michelin’s I had. These are all-weather and good for light to medium snow. I’ve used Pirellis, Falken, Michelin, Continental etc and these handle as good or better. Benefits are that I don’t need to change from all seasons to winter now.

Old technology. They're "good" but there's a lot better tires that you can get. Rt660s are great, but if youre on a budget, the rt615ks are good too.

Mine were down to 50% tread and didn't have enough traction on snow at ~20k miles. If you drive on serious snow, consider getting rid of them by 15 to 20k miles.

My Crosstrek Limited came with the same Falkens. They were performing poorly in the wet when only half worn. I replaced them at 23k miles when they had 4/32" before winter.
