Tires Falken or OEM Toyota

the Defender 110 the two highway quiet A/Ts people seem to love are the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and Falken Wildpeak A/T3W. the Falkens look a bit more aggressive but are still way less noisy than KO2s.

i just put on 275/55 R20 Wildpeaks. They are awesome. Look great, and can deal with loading up and long trips, and my wife's curb sliding.

I went with 265/60R20 in falken wildpeak at4w and I've absolutely loved it

Going from the stock 235/45 tires to taller sidewall 225/55 took some harshness out of the ride, which I really enjoy. The tires, being all terrains, have been a huge upgrade in winter and on rough, unpaved roads. Highly recommend if you're into that. I went with Falken Wildpeak AT Trails.

Happy with Falken WP4ATW, mostly road and 10% unservice trails (mtb shuttles). Low noise compared to other AT tires.

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’m using Falken Azenis. I was planning on Michelin pilot sports, but tariffs added almost $200 per tire so I went with Falkens from the stock Pirelli P Zeros.

What I’ve noticed:

Steering feel is noticeably worse. I noticed instantly. Honestly that doesn’t matter with a muscle car, but I liked the direct feel and confidence of the pirellis.

However, the new ride is nicer. Ride is slightly more comfortable, which for a daily driver is a valid trade off. Ride went from 4/10 to a 5/10 in comfort.

If the Pirellis grip at normal temperatures is an 8/10 the falkens are maybe 6.9/10. I’ve only had them for 200 miles so far though.

My pirellis needed to be replaced after 8k miles on the street. The falkens should last 30-40k miles. Oh and the pirellis turned in to glass below 50 Fahrenheit since they’re summer tires. I’m definitely going to try Michelins next, no matter the price, but I’m not upset at cheaping out ($320 a tire) this time.

Yes the size choice is criminal and the OEM trailer tires even worse. Come on Toyota.

I had the AT3 and wanted to get the AT4 but I am seeing a lot of negative reviews on this tire. Everything from the weight to lack of control in wet conditions has made me look for other options. My only issue with the AT3 is it lasted me maybe 30k miles
