Tires Falken or OEM Subaru

Wildpeak AT trails have been great for me in South America.

I run Falken Wildpeaks AT4w on my GX 550... The Falkens have been on for a year and are great on road and light off-roading. They are good in the snow but not as good as the Toyos.

Falken Rubitrek A/T. They are a little less aggressive then the Wildpeaks, and perform better on the highway. I do a lot of highways miles and occasionally drive on some rough trails, these have been amazing.

I have had no issues off road with the Wild Peaks.

The Falken Wildpeak ATs I had on my Gladiator were great. They spent about 90% of their life on road. They were quiet and I had minimal MPG loss. I got close to the 55k mile mark before I needed to replace them. They were great in snow and rain, never had a sliding issue.

Just got mine a few weeks ago! 265/70R17, much quieter and so much better in rain than my KO2s were even when they were brand new. I got SL, went back and forth between SL and E. I really wanted them to have a C-class LT tire but not available in this size

I had them years ago on a plow truck and holy crap were they good in the snow.

These tires do not have the same level of grip that the Tempesta P1, RE-71RS, A052s, etc. have, so do not buy these thinking you'll be competitive, because you probably won't be.

Besides that, lets start with the good sides of this tire.

-Very consistent. They do not lose grip even as they get hot, nor do they lack a ton of grip when they're cold.

-Fantastic treadwear. These will definitely last you a couple seasons at the very least. They hold their grip well throughout the entirety of the tread range.

-Responds well to inputs. While these don't have the pure grip of a super 200 tire, they respond well to inputs and are eager to change direction when you need to.

Now lets get to the bad.

-VERY unpredictable. If you start hearing even slight tire squealing, you are right on the limit of grip. These tires snap out from under you easily if you're not careful or don't know the characteristics of these tires.

-Like I said before, these lack a lot of grip compared to the super 200s, but thats kinda something you should expect when buying these tires.

Overall, I'd give the RT615K+ a solid 7/10. They're not very competitive but they're a lot of fun, they're a great tire to learn on, they offer good value in the longevity department, but they're unpredictable compared to some other tires.

2025 forester with 3200 miles on the falken tires. I have already had 2 instances of road damage. First a sheet metal screw in the tread and now a puncture and tear on the inner sidewall due to a piece of gravel.

I can’t believe that for $33,000, They come with shitty ass Falken tires.
