Tires Falken or OEM Volkswagen

I have them and I love how aggressive they are. Great in mud and snow. Great in snow mud. Great on asphalt.

Love them. Put ~85 k miles on my first set and didn’t consider anything else when it was time to replace them. I live in Colorado, they are great in the snow and ice, also work great for the forest roads through the mountains.

Just got these on my 2018, handled compacted snow / ice fantastically and seem to be a solid upgrade from the stock tires

Amazing tires. I off road heavily in my wilderness and these have incredible grip off road, as well as being relatively quiet on pavement too.

Pretty nice - we had a snow/ice storm last week and the tires were great!

Just put these on my 2013 Crosstrek about a month ago. Have yet to really test the tire this winter but in every other metric they are…unnoticeable in the best way. They also make the car look a bit more capable, which is a nice perk.

Work pretty well for me in snow, city, light offroading. Road noise is fine and mpg hit isn't drastic. No issues so far.

I currently have 55k miles on my Falkens. Have spent many, many days in heavy snow in the mountains of Washington and Colorado without an issue. Great tires, I will be getting another pair

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 replaced my factory tires at only 9000 miles. then I purchased falcon wildpeaks that wore down so fast that I was able to prorate the tire warranty at only 18,000 miles usage.
