Tires MICHELIN or Falken

Incredible in the snow and quiet on the road, even at highway speeds. Smoothed out the ride too.

I have the Falken’s and have put over 20k miles on them and I love them. The wear is outstanding and I haven’t had any issues with traction on road anywhere in any condition. The few times they’ve been down forest roads they are more than what I’ve needed.

They are VERY nice tires.

Got some falken wildpeak AT.

I got some Michelin S1’s and they was a huge improvement to my grip and stability!

Little late to this thread. But my wife had Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires on her Ford Explorer when she bought it new. They are a high mileage compound tire. And she got every bit of 75,000 miles out of them over 5 years. No major or noticeable loss of grip, did fairly well in the rain, even at the end.

Ditch the Geolanders and get Michelin CrossClimate2 tires.

CrossClimates are a much better tire in my experience and opinion. They are stiffer and less soft, much more sporty feel but with balance. I felt like I had less control with a boaty steering feel on the Weatherpeaks.

I'm definitely replacing the stock tires with Wildpeaks in the spring. In the snow, the stock tires are pretty good, but ice forms very quickly with Vancouver snow and that's where the stock tires fail for me. Noticeably more slippery on ice than a proper 3PMSF rated tire.

As someone who cheated out on tires and ended up losing traction going around a curve in the rain, fishtailing to the other side of the road and getting t-boned by a vehicle twice the size of mine, I’ve made it a rule to never cheap out on tires again. Michelin is one of the better brands out there IMO.
