Tires Falken or SUMITOMO

We replaced the stock tires with some AT falkens. Massive difference in grip. In all weather conditions. Highly recommend, at a ~5% sacrifice to fuel economy on hybrid.

When I ordered my 2024 xlt 2.0 4k tow Maverick I opted for the Falken wildpeak AT3 tires. They're a little louder than all season but not much. Average around 34 mpg in the summer and 29 in the winter great traction, have around 30.000 miles on them with plenty of tread left

I had a choice, AWD or an Eco Boost motor. The AWD ended up being a better buy. I know I’m going to miss the Eco Boost.

I chose the AWD because of boon docking. I put Falken Wildpeak 235/65/16 tires on it.

I cant believe how good the Falken Sincera are and they’re cheap. Only bought Michelin for years. Never liked anything cheap or Continental, Yokohama.

Our best selling light truck tire is by far the Wildpeak AT4W. It's a great all around tire that also looks good and wears very well. They are not the best tire in the snow but they still do pretty well. For an all weather passenger car tire the Falken Aklimate is also very hard to beat. I pulled off a set of 7/32nds tread depth Firestone ft140's off my little daily driver corolla and put a set of those on. The difference in snow traction is unbelievable. I drove home from work tonight on 5" plus of unplowed snow and was at times dragging the belly on my little car. It just chewed right along with no issues. With the firestones I still would have made it home, but a couple of stop signs that I had to stop at and take off going uphill would have required running the stop sign and hoping no-one was coming in order to do so. The Aklimates just bit in and dug through everything.

I just got some Sumitomos replaced with about 40,000 mi on them which probably still had 20 to go and were still gripping great but just a little bit noisy. They are the parents company of Falken. They are a great brand as far as longevity and grip. I'm currently using Laufenn which are a sub brand of Hankook which cost me under $90 a corner and I am so pleased that I'm considering putting them on my second car. This mid-tier brand has been just as if not more pleasant in the realm of noise and on center road feel at speed than Michelin Defenders I had just a month ago on a car we sold. My Laufenns will probably have only half of the tread life of the Michelins I used to have, but at only half the price and the feel on the road is identical but I'm sure the performance is a little bit less. We do have close to bottom tier on a car that is new to us which is a Douglas brand and it'll be good for the next year but it is an unpleasant tire. It's loud and doesn't feel like it tracks well. But it does grip well enough to push the replacement date out a year since they were manufactured this year.

I've had repetitive Goodluck both in lifespan and performance with Falken tires, and had a good customer service and support experience at Town Fair tire.

Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.

The side walls on the Falken tires are very soft (like butter).

I currently have a set of Falken Rubitreks on my Landcruiser and coming from street tires, are just too rough for me on my commute.
