Tires Falken or Sailun

Stock Flakens have been great for me! 12k miles and no issues off road.

The AT4's are absolutely better tires than the KO2's.

I will resurrect this just because my car came with Sailun Atrezzo 480. I bought a 3rd gen Prius 4 years ago with 76K and it now has 142K. The tires have been fine & just getting to the wear bars. I was going to replace them at first but kind of tested them for traction in dry and rain and they seemed to grip good. I was just tire shopping and was going to get Michelins but decided on another set of Sailuns since I have been happy with them and it was $680.00 compared to $250.00. I would not have considered them if they did not come on the car but now that they have proven themselves I am getting another set. Yes you get what you pay for but these have been as good as anything else for a daily driver.

Falken Wildpeaks have not let me down

A better budget option for Ohio would be the falken aklimate or other all weather equivalents, just saying the aklimate because it's really good for the price and performance

I liked mine. Recently moved to falken wildpeak at4w and like them a lot too. If you do any towing I think the at4w feel a little bit stiffer which is nice for towing.

Downsized to a 17 inch wheel with Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails and the ride quality is actually better (there are a lot of potholes where I live), plus the additional peace of mind that when I drive on gravel forest roads I am less likely to get a puncture compared to all season tires.

I had Falken Wildpeaks on my Forester. Also a great tire

Had Falken RT615k+ previously and they're great fresh, but you won't get much mileage (11k mi) out of them and they pick up punctures easy with how soft the compound is.

2nd Gen not 5th but I replaced the ancient tires on my 4runner with wildpeaks and had them on for a few years. Hated them. Hated driving curves in the rain on pavement. Roundabouts would lose traction even in summer and as you know, these are NOT cars with a fast takeoff. They were quiet, I'll give them that.
