2021 Prius Prime Limited - Recently placed Falken Aklimate tires, know about the hit to mileage, but has anyone else used these during winter and are they as good as they say they are? and worth the loss in overall mileage???
I'm now looking to get a new set of tires for my Gen3. I have Goodyear Assurance, which have been fine. The Falken Aklimate seems highly rated (on TireRack) for things I care about but I don't see anything that says they negatively impact mileage. Where do you find that info? I know they are not low rolling resistance but I didn't see anything to say they reduce MPG. Is it because they "meet industry severe snow service requirements?" Other tires that came out high in my search are: Kumho Solus 4S HA32 Nokian Encompass AW02 Vredestein HiTrac All Season What I liked about the Aklimates over these was the higher reviews for winter driving. We don't get a ton of snow and ice here in NJ, but enough to warrant a good tire. Plus we go to VT a bit.
