    I’m being told it’s a winter tire. Is it? Mechanic trying to sell me Nokian wr g4 for my jeep. I know that nokian can handle the winter time but I don’t think they handle too well for above 40° weather. I need an all season tire that will handle lake affect snow, black ice as well as dry temps. What should I do? I really like the falkens

      These Falkens have been great for me, no traction issues at all. If you’re looking for winter traction without having to switch to dedicated winter tires, these will be a solid all season tire for you. I’ve got about 6K miles on them now.

      No. It's an all-season/all-weather, all-terrain tire designed for unibody CUV softroaders...instead of heavy, body-on-frame pickups/SUVs. Think "Subaru Wilderness, Jeep Trailhawk, or RAV4 Adventure, in NE/PNW/mtns".
      It's for if you offroad your AWD, want decent paved manners/MPG, decent trail manners, and don't feel like swapping on dedicated winter tires for snow/ice capability. If you don't offroad, you may prefer some Michelin CrossClimates, Firestone WeatherGrips, or similar. If you're in frequent snow/ice all winter, with 0 offroading, you may prefer swapping to dedicated winter Blizzaks, Hakkepelittas, or X-Ices. If you're all about offroad...siped mudders, like Trxus MTs, Milestars, or similar burliness. Many seem to like the BFG KO2s offroad too, unless they frequent mud.
      I like the AT Trails, so far, on my Subaru Crosstrek adventurer. They steer just a touch heavier than the stock CUV/Touring all-seasons, but it may just be 2-4PSI lower on pressure than I was using. The car still feels pretty sure-footed on wet and dry pavement at all speeds, but I don't drive like I'm auto-Xing. I haven't tried snowy/icy roads yet, nor trails, but I went from 55-profile to 60-profile in stock width, and the carcass seems tougher than a typical all-season car tire. The siping looks like it will be decent for snow.
      I think tires like this come stock on Jeep Trailhawks and Toyota RAV4 TRD Pros/Adventures.

      @@RKmndo @hastingj I ended up going w/ the wildpeak a/t. So far they’ve been solid for me. Haven’t hit full snow yet - just sleet but traction was good.

    Hows the steering feel vs the stock tires? About the same or heavier to turn?

    • @hastingj
      @hastingj  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hi Cody, the steering feels the same, no heavier at all. These tires have been really comfortable, just improved traction and all-weather confidence.

    Are they that good in snow?

    This looks promising. Are these the regular AT trails rather than the AT3W? I"m thinking of getting these for my Outback XT.

    • @hastingj
      @hastingj  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I got the A/T Trails. That would be the size and better fit on an Outback. Hope whatever you decided on is working out for you.
