Tires Falken or SUMITOMO

Falken Tires

I have them myself. I know AT tires aren’t explicitly designed for snow but these ones cut through snow super well. Haven’t used them for anything crazy off-road but they’ve gone up and down several ditches in the snow

Pros: cut through snow

Cool Cool…thanks for the feedback. Got AT3W 285’s on 2nd gen. Tacoma last year. Went to do the same with our 4Runners last month and had to go AT4W’s 285’s. Had them for short time but as you said …”tires are amazing” Nice rig OP!

Pros: tires are amazing

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.

Pros: wore evenly, less rocks
Cons: performance drop sub -20C
Mileage: 8000 km

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.

Pros: very quiet, excellent in rain
Cons: heavy, bigger than stock

  • Noise:
Rating 3.5

For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.

Pros: adequate grip, long life
Cons: quite loud
Vehicle: Honda
