I have the falkens. I run about 39lbs in mine. I think 36 is the sweet spot but I run a little more pressure to try to get a little better mpg and I am use to a firm ride so it doesn’t bother me.
Must have been some decent snow. I have never had a problem with traction in the snow with my falkens. I have cables for my 4runner but never had to use them.
So my update. I have gotten over 60k on my set of falkens. I would recommend this as all around good tire. I don't do a ton of hard core off roading but for what I have throw at them it handled it well. Snow and wet traction are great. I would say as they get to the end of their life they...
I was hoping to catch a deal on the falkens but they aren't running any promotions on them. Walmart is doing $127 and falken themself is doing $80 rebate on the a set of 4 so I might have discount match it and than just get the 80 back direct from falken.
I would go wildpeak if not doing a ton of off-roading. I have wildpeaks and they haven’t let me down in the traction department with any road conditions so far. I have lived in from west coast to east coast with these tires
So most likely will go a full roof rack soon. Is Shepra the only rack the is designed not use silicone? I notice all most of the non drill options use some type of silicone to keep water from getting into the roof.
