Tires Falken or Nokia

I have 265 rubitrek on my 4runner now. Absolutely no complaints about them. I drove to Moab from NY with them even encountered some snow on the way, they did awesome

Tires have been great so far, quiet, look great and handle great in water-just rained today!

Nokian is the original OG in winter tire. In fact, they practically invented winter tires and have been developing winter tires since. It's all I will ever buy for winter tires. Remember that these tires were developed for the harsh Finland winters. It's why I'm currently running some Hakka R3s on my car.

Nokians all the way. IMO they're well worth the money, they're a top tier tire made in Finland.

I would get the Falken Wildpeak AT4W or AT3W if you can still find them. I've driven through 1.5 ft no problem

Solterra owner here, living at 6k feet in the Sierra/Tahoe area..Installed WRg5s a month ago and it's been icy, near the freezing point on several occasions now. Maybe its the Solterra traction control, maybe its the tires...maybe its the combination of both, but I've been testing in black and glazed ice on the roundabouts and the tight icy corners and they won't. break. loose!

If you need to remain budget conscious, I would recommend Nexen or Falken. The Nexen Winguard Sport 2 or Falken Winterpeak would be a good budget winter tire.

Nice set up! I have had mine on for 100k miles they’re definitely the best tires I have ever bought. Just bought my second pair and hoping to get another 100k.

Been driving on the new Falkens for a while now. They’re good but they’re definitely more noisy than the Michelins. Can hear more road noise than I’ve heard in the last 1.5 years.

I know this thread is 2 years old, but I have Nordman 7 on my 22 kona ev, and the grip is terrible. I have owned Hakkas on all my cars including subarus and they were top tier, on this car they don't grip for some reason.

The cabin noise is driving me crazy too, sort of excited to finish winter, and it ain't even started yet to be able to change them next year.
