Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
I'm on my second set. I got just about 64k miles over three years before they were cracking and down to 3/32. I just don't have the same confidence in those so I went back to the A/T Trails. They definitely grip the road better and are less bouncy.
I highly recommend the Wildpeaks. Had them on my 2500. Got nearly 80k out of a set.
I recently bought some Falken Azenis FK460 A/S and am thrilled with them. Sticky but quiet and smooth. Perhaps a bit less crisp that the Pirelli P Zero AS I had previously but just as sticky when they were new and they are quieter and ride better, should last longer. A softer sidewall should also help off road.
Had Michelin, sold em. Love the Falkens.
I run them on my Ram ( general offroad through fields and turf and towing 12k+ lbs) and Sierra (which I mainly use to get around in the winter when it snows).
My RT615K lasted like 8000 miles on a Honda Fit with 50:50 miles.
On a totally non-Mazda related note I put Falken Wildpeak AT Trails on my Jeep just over a year and half ago. All four of them already have weather cracking. And Falken doesn’t have a specific warranty for that, you simply have to claim the warranty under their general six year manufacturing defects and materials and hope they give you some help. They start at 11/32, rated for 65,000 miles and after 20,000 miles they are already down to 6.5/32
I had Falkens as replacement tires on my 626. They lasted a disappointingly short while. Next tire shop said they’re infamous for being soft and wearing quickly.
