Tires Falken or OEM Volkswagen

I'm running 205 50 17 on oem vw Gavia 17x6.5 et 46 for Winter and 225 45 17 on oem vw Valencia 17x7.5 et 51 for Summer. These are the recommended oem sizes.

I have a set of Falken FK510s on my car. Pretty cheap, enough grip that with an upgraded rmm but without a torque gussett bar I still get pretty gnarly wheel hop. Proper grip especially in the wet which is kinda wild, and I've made it through a couple winters with them in Ohio.

i trash mine, and i’ve never had one go flat. last time i had my truck serviced they pulled 9 nails out of my Falkens & they were all still holding pressure (i work in construction). obviously i replaced them all but the fact they were holding air still made me just buy another set.

If you go off road occasionally, and in the snow at all, the falken wildpeak AT is the way to go.

I run Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail's on mine. Not a true "winter" tire, but they have done amazing hauling my snowmobiles to the mountains as well as in our recent snow/ice storm here in the northwest.

Falken Aklimates are awesome. Affordable, good performance, 65k warranty, and not hard as bricks like the Michelins. Plus they have road hazard for the first 3/32" from the manufacturer.

I have them on my 23 Limited OR. I replaced my stock ones with these 35x11.50R20 D rated tires immediately. They ride great and are quiet. Perform well both on and off-road.

I have had these tires on a 4Runner as well. They are my go to now over BFG AT which I ran on many vehicles.

I have 15k on them and they show very little wear at all.

I love them. They are better than the Encounter AT

Original tires replaced @ \~25,000mi. I've got Falkens on them. To be honest, they're fine. Road noise is unobtrusive. In the \~1,000 +/- miles they've been on I've not noticed anything at all to be concerned about.

I have vibrations on my Wildpeaks as well, you aren't alone. Been in to re balance repeatedly. Doesn't matter, still shakes. I gave up on it and just live with it. Don't know if I'll run them again.
