Tires Falken or NITTO

I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers on mine and really like them.

I got some Falken Wild Peak Trail with 18 inch aftermarket rims. so far performance in wet and snowy conditions has been excellent.

I went from Falkens to Toyos in 315/70r17 and the Falkens were 2” larger in diameter.

I have Akklimates on my Hyundai Kona. They rate pretty good in everything and have held up well in snow and wet conditions, but I specifically bought them because I don't drive that car much and they are more of a value 3PMSF tire.

Falken Ziex 960s are what I ran in big bear for years. Rain snow shine. If I needed cables I should've driven a different car. It was a hoon in the snow lol.

Did a short test drive today. No rubbing or other issues with normal/slightly spicy driving. Went lock to lock in a parking lot, no issues.

Rides much smoother than stock, less bumpy and not noisy at all.

Those Falkens are dearly loved by this community. I had a set and just didn\u2019t like them. They were noisy. They had a tendency to flat spot if the truck sat for a day or two, that would take several miles to warm up and sort itself out. They were really awesome in the snow and what little off roading I did.

I got the falkens from discount tire. They were a good price but I don't think I would get them again. All else being equal they don't track as well as the Yokohama I had.

- avoid the willys, stock tires are LOUD (falken mt)
