Tires MICHELIN or Falken

I love my Wildpeak AT3s. Had them almost a year and they’re great

I swapped the dunlops for new 265/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W.

Minor rubbing on front bumper splash guard, but I pushed it back and will likely take a heat gun to it later. The dunlops did not rub but it was close.

There are a lot of anecdotes out there that the foam doesn't make a dimes difference in noise levels. I'll add to them that when I replaced mine with Michelins fro Costco the noise level actually went down.

Personally I'm a Michelin guy. Have used both on my cars and would only go Michelin from here on out

MYLR owner here. Replaced OEM continentals at 35k miles with Costco Michelin PS AS4. Much quieter and ride was more comfortable over potholes. Initial 2-3k miles I had a drop in efficiency but after that the efficiency has been the same or perhaps better than original continentals. It's also much better with handling in almost all conditions ie snow, rain and summer.

I recently replaced the original pilot sport 4 for a set of cross climate 2. Was a bit worried how much sound will be impacted since cc don't have the foam. It was a little bit of a different sound, not louder just a different tone. But stopped noticing anything the next day.

On my 2019 M3, I had Continental tires with foam as well. I replaced them with Michelin sport pilot 4 (no foam) and to be honest they were quieter than the factory tires.

Im having this debate right now. I have had my defender 2s since \~30k and they have performed flawlessly especially between Maine and DC. Its seen snow, rain etc and I have not had an issues in any climate.

My OEM Michelin PS4’s were gone after about 14k miles of abuse (new car excitement).

Had the Falkens on my 2019 Forester Sport. Only lasted 42k . Shortest amount of miles I had on any tires.
