Tires Hankook or Falken

Just did an 8k mile road trip on new Wildpeak AT4Ws and they were excellent for everything from freeway to up the side of a mountain. Nice and quiet, drives easy, and three peak mountain snowflake rated.

Wildpeak AT trails have been great for me in South America.

Had a great Hankook set that had crushed walnuts embedded in the compound.

I run Falken Wildpeaks AT4w on my GX 550... The Falkens have been on for a year and are great on road and light off-roading. They are good in the snow but not as good as the Toyos.

Falken Rubitrek A/T. They are a little less aggressive then the Wildpeaks, and perform better on the highway. I do a lot of highways miles and occasionally drive on some rough trails, these have been amazing.

I have had no issues off road with the Wild Peaks.

The Falken Wildpeak ATs I had on my Gladiator were great. They spent about 90% of their life on road. They were quiet and I had minimal MPG loss. I got close to the 55k mile mark before I needed to replace them. They were great in snow and rain, never had a sliding issue.

The OEM Hankooks (on my 24') go full slip and slide mode if there's a drop of water on the road anywhere within 3 miles.

I can turn the "heavy steering" wheel with two pinched fingers and just my wrist when driving. It's not a big deal.

Diff breather mod.

Check the rain channels on the roof for cracking paint. Dealer should fix that as it's considered a workmanship warranty, else you can apply clear coat to the spots yourself to seal them when it inevitably cracks again.

If a leaf ever gets under the moulding/gasket around the windshield it can and will sound like your front speakers are crackling and dying when driving past 60 MPH and make your blood pressure go up trying to figure out what the hell is making that noise.

My 2023 ford explorer has them on it from stock with 23k miles and they are very noisy and they do not handle well at any speed

My 2023 model 3 LR came with Hankook Kinergy GT M&S tires. Based on the tire rack reviews I think they are almost identical to the Hankook Ion tires. 

If so. My experience with the Kinergy tires was not great. While they were super efficient (lifetime average 246wh/mile) they gave up early on spirited cornering on both dry and wet pavement (might be the difference between avoiding a potential accident). They are adequate in winter driving. Where the were outright dangerous was hydroplaning.
