I put Falken Aklimates on the 20's on my baby mom's. They are beyond awesome. I had to go to work this past Sunday during the worst of the snow (we got 14" by that evening when I left) and it made it through without a hiccup.

Can't recommend them enough.

Pros: beyond awesome

Falken AT4W’s are absolute tanks, loving them so far. They also look much more aggressive than they feel or sound which is a win win for aesthetics / highway

Pros: aggressive look, loving them

I\u2019ve never ever been let down by a set of falken wildpeak at3ws. All season tire so you don\u2019t have to have a dedicated set. Very smooth on the highway for an at tire, available in 10 ply for towing or extreme use, little extra meat on them for when you do go off-road and do fantastic in the snow.

Pros: smooth, fantastic in snow

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.

Pros: more comfortable ride
Cons: worse steering feel
Vehicle: Dodge
Mileage: 322 km

I’m a little disappointed in the Mav (FWD hybrid) snow performance. Even got real nice Falken Wildpeak AT3 all-terrains in August since the factory continentals were dogshit. It gets by alright enough but still slips on acceleration. A lot.

Cons: slips on acceleration
