Falken Aklimate Reviews

My stock tire was a Parelli Scorpion tire and was decent for only 30k miles and wearing fast. Up in NH there's plenty of snow and ice. The stock tires were not too good in the snow. I didn't want to spend 2,000 on all weather and dedicated winter. So instead i bought the Alklimate XL. All tires are a compromise, but this is better winter vs summer tire. I'd say 65% winter and 35% summer tire, but I saved a grand by not having to buy 2 sets. It works very well on ice and snow, but it's a little louder then the stock tires. When it's very cold out the ride is a little harsher until the tires warm up. The gas mileage is the same with both tires. In my opinion if you live on the East Coast and North of NY you may need these tires, because their safer in the winters over the stock. South of NY you may be wasting your money.

Really good and don't make noise like other winter tiers, it is just the perfect tire ever for any car in any weather condition.

I bought these to replace my Michelin Cross climate 2. Those were good tires and lasted a while, but these ones feel even better in the winter Already. They are quieter than Michelin were too and go better in the snow. only had them for a little over a month so can't justify treadwear, but I do like them better than my cross climate and I would definitely get these again over those.

Have not had them all winter to see the tire wear yet ..

Great tires for my Mazda . Good so far in the snow . Not a lot of road noise either.

Before these tires I had the Bridgestone Weatherpeaks and they were great but wore down relatively quickly. As some who lives in Vermont and owns a car at a younger age, I look for all weather tires since it prevents me having to go to the shop, buy a set of steel rims and get tires switched over. So far we've experienced some snow and the Falkens handled exceptionally. If you are looking for a tire that does it all I'd say go with all weathers if you have AWD or 4x4. Where I live doesn't experience super heavy snow. With AWD you should be fine. So far though 10/10.

Avg road noise, good ride. Haven't driven in snow or rain yet to give a review.
