Tires Falken or OEM Subaru

I’ve been using RT660’s for the past 3 years and they’re fantastic. Though they’re the only summer tires I’ve bought so I don’t have much reference. But they handle great, especially after getting heat into it, and of course it depends on the car but it made a night and day difference in terms of confidence with my car.

I have only had Falken Azeni 660rts, but they've been great. I did a full season of codriving on my 205/50r15s last year and they still have a lot of life in them.

Falken azenis fk 460 all seasons were $200 for a 235/35 19. Awesome tires.

I had one of these. I leased a 2017 XT Premium for 3 years. I had zero issues with it over the ~ 30K miles. It was the first new car I'd owned that never had any warranty claims and never saw the inside of a dealer until the day I returned it. I changed oil and filters and swapped out the crappy OEM rubber for decent tires

I put Falken RT660s on my STI. The grip level is amazing but a heavy, AWD car can be hard on these tires unless you are set up with the appropriate amount of camber.

For me, Falken/Sumitomo has been the perfect balance between value and performance

My Falken tires are extremely affordable and they grip better than my Pirellis in every real-world situation that I’ve needed the grip.

Just put on 265/65/18 SL wildpeak at4w on an otherwise stock 2012 GX and can confirm that they will fit with no rubbing. Compared to the Michelin latitudes that were on before, the feel on the road is noticeably better, i.e. more plush but also more planted... if that makes sense. Road noise is minimal difference in my mind but I have a skybox on top so maybe I'm just used to it. Being in pnw, wet traction is a must and these should do the trick.

i did not understand the difference between load rating when i ran my ko2, had a good side wall tear ko2 in snow was meh but it was nice not to have to put chains on in chain control i now run the wildpeak in 35 and they are chonky. i think they work pretty good on/off road. tho gas mileage sucks now on the bigger tire. neither tire is very loud and I can't hear them inside the gx.

I have run these before and was extremely disappointed by their winter performance. Skip the A/T and get dedicated winters. They are WAY better. You’ll be fine means it will make it but not necessarily easily. I run Blizzak dmv2 which blow them out of the water.
