Falken WildPeak A/T Trail vs Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 — Compared

“If you get any appreciable amount of snow an all-season no longer cuts it, IMO. You want an all WEATHER tire. The CC2's I see you were considering are in that class. Look for the 3-peak Mountain Snowflake rating. I ran all-season tires on my 2011 Outback for 10 years. When my 2021 needed tires I went with the OTHER often-suggested tire, the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. Best decision EVER!! They changed the handling of the Outback in the snow considerably for the better but they handle good in the dry still and they're wearing like iron.”

“2026 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness with new Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail All-Terrain Tires - 225/65R17! My speedometer and odometer readings are pretty much spot-on—maybe about a 1% difference at most. Road noise is the same as stock (if not slightly better), and grip on gravel and loose terrain is easily 30% better. Overall, stepping up to the slightly taller size for that extra ~0.5" of clearance and sidewall cushion was definitely the right move. The ride quality is great. The only thing I can’t comment on yet is tread longevity since I just got them mounted, but I'll check back in with an update down the road!”

“FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T TRAIL how are they on small AWD vs regular A/T tires? Sorry only have a video of my roads, 1 photo for attention not ours as our Kona is stock. The other photos are screen captures of the video of the roads) We have a hyundai Kona AWD and this is what our backroads looks like (not always that bad when it's dry) I have to travel on a road like that for a mile to get to pavement. The Car has 18" with low profile grindstone weather peaks that are getting Shreaded. We are thinking of doing 16" rims and FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T TRAILs vs a heavier AT to keep the weight down on the little turbo AWD. Size would be 215/65R16 so we don't need a lift. Great car that we want to last the next 5-10 years. Wish someone made skids for it though Read more”

“Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 vs Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 for '21 Ram 1500 Limited Unfortunately I'm having to get my 2nd set of tires in 4 years. I had the OEM Goodyear tires the first two times and only got 20-25K miles each time so I'm looking for something better. I usually get my tires from Sam's Club because I've found they give the best value. I wanted to get the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2's at my last need for tires but they cost more than I could afford at the time. I can afford them now but I've also come across these Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's that are at a better deal and have consistently decent reviews as well that would cost me about $500 less in total. I wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with both sets or has a recommendation between the two tires and if you can provide reasonings why. TIA! Leer más”

“275/50R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 At about 15k miles the front 2 Pirelli Scorpions were pretty much worn out/down to the wear bar. I wanted to try something different and always liked Michelin tires so I went with the Defender LTX M/S2. Replaced the front two. If I like them I'll get another 2 next year and shuffle these to the rears. It seems the truck has had to relearn how to drive after putting new tires on. It's been 5 days and it seems that it's almost back to normal. The steering felt a little too loose is how I'd describe it. Otherwise they feel great and I like how they look. A little more meatier than the Pirellis. I'll be measuring the wear to see how it compares and will post some data in the future.”

“I have the same truck. I love my Defender LTX M/S2 tires. Very good on the rroadand in rain and snow. I haven't towed with them but have had no issues on forest service roads in Washington state. I would definitely get them again.”
