Tires Falken or Vredestein

These are the best tires I’ve ever owned

You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.

On the truck I have some Vredestein Pinza AT tires which are quite beefy and snow tire rated but also pretty smooth on the highway.

I liked the falken wild peak at3’s.

Vredestein Wintrac Pros on OZ racing wheels. Under 2k for the set. Fun when it's dry with a 170+ top speed rating. And grippy on ice and snow. I run it 99-98 percent of the time.

I like em. And they ride way better than stock. Didn't have problems last winter but granted it's been a while since a true blizzard.

The truck feels more stuck to the ground. Haven't had any issues one year into having them. Plan on getting another set of these next time.

I had Falken A/T3W on my 2016 primarily for daily driving in rain and snow. On my 2024, I've got Falken R/T because the A/T3W and A/T4W were out of stock and I didn't want to wait. They're not bad, and at least they're C load rating.

Falkens don't last more than 30k miles.The rubber starts to break down after 16mo. Tread is fine, but they start to crack at the shoulder. Even if you rotate them like a good human, even if you park in a heated garage, even if you wash your car every week or two. Big box tire shop and the manufacturer won't so anything for you either. Happened to me and will NEVER buy them again.

Verdesteins that i put on my q7 were trash. All 4 went bald within 20k miles !!
