First time in the snow

[dejones64]

Dan, which Falkens do you have?

Hey Steve, Falken Wildpeak AT3W 245/65r17. Running at 33psi per the Falken rep out here. Airing down would probably help on the slippery surface but I spend most of my time on plain asphalt, so far. The snow fall here hasn't been that crazy. Some roads on my way to work wind through some heavily treed areas where there's minimal direct sunshine. So the snow gets packed down and gets pretty slick. I find myself sliding around a bit. Spent some time last weekend on a snow filled trail in sand mode, I was impressed with how the Falkens performed.

Thanks for the info. We haven’t had much snow as well. My son is in the twin cities and has KO2’s on a FJ Crusier and he loves those in the snow.

On really nasty snowy icy days I drive my 04’ AWD Escape that’s only FWD now. As the Rotary blade coupler is no longer available and used parts are too risky.
Why you ask ?
It does just fine and I don’t have to worry about some idiot sliding into me.

My 05 Escape was great on the original tires. Generals I think, the last several sets have not been as good. Fun part now is the snow and slush entering in from the area formally known as wheel wells!

Years ago I bought a used Festiva to drive back and forth to work, the thing had 13 inch tires probably 5 in wide and it did really good in snow.

Had an absolute blast driving in fresh unplowed 8 inches . Badlands handled beautifully
