They are Falken Ziex ZE950 A/S
The great white north here. Excellent traction in snow, and pretty good on ice. The benefits in wet and dry traction over normal winters for the times when it's not extreme conditions outweighs having dedicated winter tires. At least where I'm at.
Also there are better summer tires out there, I recommend the Michelin pilot sport 4s or the new Continental that recently came out, they have amazing performance and last a long time.
Not the same tires, but I’m currently running the Falken Azenis FK460 all season in 255/35/18 and I’ve been super impressed with them considering it’s an all season. Steering is still very precise, the tires are quiet on the highway and they’re communicative as grip loads up, and it breaks away progressively.
I have ridge grapplers and I really like them, but if I were only doing what you were planning on I would go back to wildpeak AT3s. Those tires were actually amazing.
Falken Wildpeaks are the best AT tire in the rain by far. I live in the PNW and drive in the rain pretty much constantly.
I went with 265/60/18 Wildpeaks on my 22 AWD turbo and really like them a LOT. No rubbing even off road and much better grip all around especially in wet conditions. I even pulled a 1000lb trailer down 50 miles of beach without even THINKING about getting stuck. I even kinda tried to push it a few times in deep sand and the tires just didn’t dig in, they went forward even WITHOUT lowering the air pressure in the tires.
I wore out my first set of AT3s and replaced them with KO2s because the tire store only had 3 wildpeaks in stock, but had four KO2s. Drove it for a couple days and hated them. Ordered four AT4s and a week later had them changed out. Much better tire than the Bridgestones.
Weather peaks have garbage treadlife. CC2 is obviously a top contender. I would go CC2 for true all weather or WRG5s for better winter performance and slightly worse summer performance
The Falken tires they roll out of the factory suck, Falken as a brand in general isn’t bad. I went from Falken ZX-somethings to Falken Wildpeaks on my Crosstrek and it’s night and day.
