Tires Falken or YOKOHAMA

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!

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.

Yeah the Avid GT’s were on some Corolla wheels I bought. Good tires, nice and quiet. Low roll resistance as well was getting like 49-51 mpg in the summer before I switched to snow tires.

I have Yokohama Geolandar G015 in 215/70r15 on my 2010 Prius. These were the first set of tires that I had that were quality and I plan to never buy cheaper brands again.

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.

My vote is Yokohama G-003 MTs. Aggressive tire, yet has great street manners. I have good things about them in that thick Utah/Northern AZ mud. They are also good in snow.

I got Advan Fleva 87V Yokohama at 5,161 per tire with 5 years warranty.

I can't tell you what to get (not enough time on my Yokohama Geolander X-CV to make an assessment on wear but so far they handle well) but I can tell you what NOT to get. Avoid the Allenzas at all costs.

Had them on my F250 and they did not last long at all. Looked cool tho and loud as hell.
