First of all, you may notice in this model that the 225/55R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T have this sort of angled side biter that looks somewhat like a saw blade.

It’s sort of directional how it’s angled up, but you do have that a little bit of extra traction there with those side biters.

They do have those cooling fins along this inner bead of the tire there, which always makes people kind of question why are they there?

If you are running low air pressure, for example, then Falken put these on there to help dissipate the heat, but you don’t see that on any other tire out there.

The other thing is that those shoulder blocks are designed a little bit different. They still have the larger shoulder blocks on the outer edge of the tire and then the scattered or staggered inner tread blocks along the center of the tire to help cut down on that road noise.

2.- BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 on Subaru Forester – 225/55R17

This tire has legendary reputation in the off-road community. BFG practically invented the first radial off- or all-terrain tire over 40 years ago.

The 225/55R17 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 is the next generation or brother of the original KO tire, which alone, was a rock star in the category. So to make this tire tougher overall, BFG just basically fortified some of the big weak spots, more specifically the sidewalls and shoulder area, which is where over 80% all terrains tire failures occur. 

To do so, they beefed up that shoulder area using that is called their CoreGuard technology, making this tire 15% to 20% stronger than the original KO tire, helping to prevent punctures and thinks like that. BFG KO2 225/65r17

In the BF Goodrich ko2 235/70R16 all terrain they are always some kind of expected noise when dealing with a tire aggressive tread design like this, however most customer experienced say that these tires are very quiet while on the road.

A last important detail is that The KO2 is three peak snowflakes rated, meaning that this have met stringent requirements set forth by the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association and the Rubber Association of Canada to identify passenger and light truck tires that provide a higher level of snow traction and meets required performance criteria to be considered a severe snow rated tire, so that way, you can feel confident in the snow or on the ice.

The 225/55R17 Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 was designed for comfortable performance on the road, providing a smooth and quiet ride with the traction needed for inclement weather, including light snow on the road.

The Geolandar H/T G056 will feel like the sporty personality of a test group. Steering is tense in the center with adequate response to inputs. However, although the initial impacts may be firm, they were also well controlled. It has helped the tire maintain a feeling of stability, even on rough roads.

You will notice that the tire produced slight nuances and rough road surfaces, which disappeared on smoother pavement. Over the course of wet testing, Yokohama struggled to find traction in wet conditions to a greater degree.

Once the wet adhesion threshold was exceeded, the breakdown was abrupt and difficult to mitigate. The Yokohama achieved the shortest stopping distance of 50 to zero in a closed group field on a track. You will enjoy the balance and handling of the Geolandar H/T G056, indicating that it is fully capable of performing emergency braking or street
avoidance maneuvers.
