Tires Falken or Shinko

I agree, have had mine on for about 8,000kms and gone through the summer and recently 30cm of snow and -30C temps. Recently rotated and all tires wore evenly with proper alignment done from the start.

I typically run Nokian Hakka LT3 for winter but wanted to try these out this season to see how they compare to my previous experience with KO2.

Agree with everything OP has mentioned, but sub -20C you can really feel the performance drop compared to dedicated winters.

In short, these tires are amazing!

Pros:

- For being AT tires, they're very quiet. Yes I know AT tires get louder as they get worn out, but these have been excellent so far on dry highway.

- They're excellent in rain, no hydroplaning.

- They're excellent in snow.

- They're excellent off-roading.

- Tires look beefy! Give the 4R an aggressive look.

- I got C-load, no need for E-load as I don't do hardcore stuff like in the west.

Cons:

- As expected with most AT tires, they're heavy, but nig enough to make the 4R any slower.

- Even though they are stock size, they're bigger than the stock Dunlops in every dimension. The beefy outer knobs rubbed at full lock when reversing so had to trim the bottom bumper by grinding it down and also a bit on the inside liner.

I took off my KO2s from my Sorento. They wore well and still had useable tread after 55k miles. But I was tired of the noise and ride on the highway. I put on a set of these Wildpeak tires and am VERY satisfied. They are pretty quiet, ride nice, and are darn good on wet, muddy, or snowy roads.

Just picked up at4’s last week! Loving them so far ????????

Gone over the snowy mountain passes for 2 winters on my at3. Love them.

I have wildpeak ht02s. they are great.

I picked up a set of Rubitreks last year. Not too loud, handle great off-road, and perform well on wet pavement. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a solid all-around tire.

I have 265 rubitrek on my 4runner now. Absolutely no complaints about them. I drove to Moab from NY with them even encountered some snow on the way, they did awesome

I actually owned the 365AW and the Aklimates. The 365’s were very good in the slight amount of snow (Long Island, NY) I drove them in and were all around great. The aklimates I didn’t have a chance to drive in the snow but had a weird hum that I wasn’t fond of.

The fact that these tires are billed as All Terrain is somewhat of a joke when they're not even capable of driving down a mild forest service road without getting a puncture.
