Tires Hankook or Falken

The AT4's are absolutely better tires than the KO2's.

we went with hankook because discount tire carries them, and we have been buying tires from discount for 20+ years. so far, smooth and quiet, and nice range increase

Hankook dyanapro AT2. I put them shits on all my 4wd's and I've never thought they were too expensive

Falken Wildpeaks have not let me down

A better budget option for Ohio would be the falken aklimate or other all weather equivalents, just saying the aklimate because it's really good for the price and performance

I liked mine. Recently moved to falken wildpeak at4w and like them a lot too. If you do any towing I think the at4w feel a little bit stiffer which is nice for towing.

Downsized to a 17 inch wheel with Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails and the ride quality is actually better (there are a lot of potholes where I live), plus the additional peace of mind that when I drive on gravel forest roads I am less likely to get a puncture compared to all season tires.

I had Falken Wildpeaks on my Forester. Also a great tire

Go for the Hankooks. That's a big price hike for not *that* much more tire.

I didnt have this issue when I was using Michelin X-ice last winter, it was cheaper but I feel its much better.

Falken Eurowinter hs449 is overrated or just plain fake reviews. I slip when gas/brake and even on some turns. What make me feel bad is other cars are driving faster / braking harder and turning faster then me. I look like I got summer tires on.

Strongly not recommended this.
