Tires Falken or PHANTOM

I put Falken wild peaks on my 21 when I first bought it, and just replaced them at 71,000 miles. They still had plenty of tread, but they were starting to dry rot. It was my fault for using degreaser to clean my tires. I put the exact same tires back on.

WRX just changed out it’s stock Dunlop to Falken Aklimate at 68k miles and haven’t even changed it into its Blizzaks for winter. It held up beautifully even when we had ice shut down I-80 and a good portion of Nebraska. Liked the Aklimate so much I got our Chevy HHR a set along with new rims. Daughter had absolutely no issues on ice with them.

If you haven’t replaced the stock geolandsrs do yourself a favor and go get some falken wildpeak AT. Way better tires. Less road noise but more traction.

Get a set of Falken Wildpeak Trail A/Ts and rotate them every 10k front to back. You can run them all year and get 60k miles out of them.

I put Falken Aklimates on my X3 6months ago and haven’t had any issues. Smoother ride that the Michelin’s I had. These are all-weather and good for light to medium snow. I’ve used Pirellis, Falken, Michelin, Continental etc and these handle as good or better. Benefits are that I don’t need to change from all seasons to winter now.

Have the Wildpeak AT3W on my half ton truck for driving year round. Alberta winter conditions included. Quiet, excellent traction, good tread life. Priced competitively as a bonus. I’d be silly not to buy these again.

To answer OP question, probably BF Goodrich Rugged Trail TA. Didn’t last and developed cracks prematurely. Also Toyo Open Country C/T are noisy as hell.

Ran Wildpeak A/T on my 2012 Wrangler. Absolutely loved them. Rode great, great traction, very little road noise. Put almost 55K on them before trading the Wrangler in on a new truck.

I also have AT3Ws. I live in MN/WI and we have sub 0 temps usually long stretches and they don’t honestly do that great when nice fluffy snow becomes the hard packed stuffed mixed with dry pavement.

They are a good tire since I have had them on for 65,000 miles just this set… ( get new tires soon )

I think I will be going another direction. They just get too loose when temps get colder.

Summer spring fall driving they have been great.

I’m getting rid of my Falken Wildpeaks after 6,000 miles of misery. These tires will not balance and I’ve had rotational noise issues at highways speeds.

Falken Ecorun ZE310s. Do not recommend whatsoever, it feels like driving on balloons. No steering feel, super delayed turn response, understeery, unpredictable, and far too much sidewall flex.
