Tires Falken or SUMITOMO

Definitely buy atleast an all terrain tires(falken recommended if you have the budget) for your driving habits.

On a stock ’24 SR5 4x4 with 18” TRD Pro wheels, the biggest you can usually run without rubbing is 275/65R18 it fills the wheel well nicely and still clears at full lock.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W surprised me they cut through that slick layer way better than expected and stay predictable in rain

Honestly, if you want something that’s actually good and won’t punch your wallet in the face, Falken and Kumho are the two I recommend the most. They ride nice, last a long time, and don’t have that cheap-tire sketchy feel. Falken is usually the sweet spot solid grip in rain, quiet, and priced way lower than Michelin/Continental.

3 years ago I went to scout a trout lake... my absolutely stock OBW (save for tires, have Falken Wildpeak AT-Trails) handles it like an absolute champ. I thought for sure that I'd break something, but the car came out identical to how it came in, save for being much dirtier.

Wild peak are the best tires I’ve ever owned, on second pair for my 2015

Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.

I just went through the same thing and ended up picking the wildpeaks. In my size i could only get E rated KO3s, and didnt want to go that heavy. I havent gotten out yet so cant speak to that, but on the road they dont feel much different to the OEM trailhunter tires. I actually think maybe a little worse in wet, but not to the point of being an issue (and its been pretty wet where im at)

Idk how Mazda still puts Falkens. Aside from the puncture being something that any tire would be affected by, on my 6 the Falkens were genuinely some of the shittiest things I’ve ever had. Wore so fast.

Faulkens are hot garbage. Had them on our subaru ascent and also on our cx90. On our ascent they lasted 22,000 lol
