I just bought 2 of these for a Tacoma, the other 2 are Michelin Defenders which got replaced last year under warranty. The Defenders in my size are not available virtually anywhere right now. I put around 200 miles per week on the highway and 100 miles around town. I'll see how these hold up.
Thanks for the review. I have a Toyota FJ Cruiser with Duratrac tires. But, I have a 2008 Civic with all seasons that need replacement. Looking at Falken Ze950, Aklimate, & Crossmax CT-1. I want the Civic to do good enough year round, but really, I have the FJ (and my wife's AWD SUV with Falken Wildpeak AT Trails). So, it's price vs. what I need. Crossmax are lowest cost. Falken Ze950 are just $20 more a tire, but I feel they may be better, and also they are a few pounds lighter per tire. Aklimate is the heaviest, but also the most ready for any weather, and also the most expensive.
@@earthling1984 Even though I am impressed by the Crossmax tires, if I were you I'd probably go with the Falkens given the similar price. I had Falkens on another car and I liked them a lot. That said, I still have no complaints with the crossmax tires. On the other hand, duratracs are fantastic all season tires. Assuming you'd plan to use the FJ for snowy conditions, the crossmax will probably be fine. My only uncertainty with the Crossmax is longevity. I still suspect that they won't be able to achieve 50,000 given how much scrub noise I hear from them on dry pavement at low speeds.
@@pasta-eo5mt Thanks for the great info! Yeah I've had Duratrac's on 3 Jeeps and now my FJ. They have done amazing from summer to blizzards near Chicago. To mountains in Colorado. And road trips across the USA. But my civic is my daily driver in town. My current Sentry Touring tires were cheap, but are just fine. But they are 5 years old now with just 30k miles on them. They are probably fine for another year or even two, but, after 5 years, I'd just like something new, and perhaps better for some mild winter driving for close local trips. I do think I'll probably go with the Falken 950s at just 72 a tire right now. They are also 15 pounds each, while these Crossmax are 19.5 each. So an 18 pound savings at the wheels, should also give better gas mileage.
Just ordered 2 of these for my friends sequoia and there were hardly any reviews on them on Amazon so I was a little nervous but thankful to see they are decent at least when new
4 months later and I'm still happy with them. I'd be shocked if they last the length of the warranty but for low mileage drivers like me, I think they're a good choice. Hope your friend likes them.
I just bought a set off Amazon and was deeply curious on the dependability of these since they’re the cheapest I could find (I also have a Dodge Journey), thank you for the video! 😎
I didn't notice any change in ride quality. The only things I noticed were reduced noise level and better snow traction. Both could be attributed to the fact that I replaced very worn tires with new ones.
You're right. Lots of variables impact traction. Tire compound. Tread design. Vehicle weight. AWD vs 4WD. Ice traction vs snow traction. Tire pressure. Limited slip vs open differential. I still would have expected the Jeep to perform better given the name brand all terrain tire design and amount of snow on the ground.
I work from home so unfortunately I can't address longevity. I haven't even put 1,000 miles on them yet. They hold air fine. Traction is fine. They're quieter than my old worn out tires were. I will say that at low speeds like in a parking lot, they sound like a snow tire (if you've ever had winter tires, you'll know what I mean). That makes me suspect that they have a soft compound so I'd be shocked if they actually last the length of the warranty.
Thank you. Real people reviews are the best videos.

Thanks man. I just bought a set for my mom’s RAV4

@@pasta-eo5mt Can you tell me why you'd choose the Falken over the Crossmax?
@@earthling1984 Mainly for the brand name vs the unknown of the Crossmax.
Thanks for the review. I'm getting crossmax tires installed soon and was wondering how they did in the snow.
Thank you so much! We are looking at a doge journey and we were just looking at these tires 😀

Thank you n I was looking at these for my 2005 Subaru guess I will be getting them.
As you said not many videos on these tires. Can you do an update video on tread life after you have 10k+ on them?
Yes please. I'm about to buy them from Walmart.
Thank you I was wondering if they will hold up.
I'm scheduled to get 8 of these, 4 for my CRV and 4 for my Toyota minivan.... 8 tires for around $700..... Time will tell....
I'd love to hear what you think of them on the van. I'm considering them for my Pacifica when the time comes.
Omg thank u...
great revien thanks
Thanks for the review.
Very helpful !! Thanks
do crossmax tires give you a smooth ride in the summer i got fullway tires now and dont like them as they give me a choppy ride.

Many thanks !!
Narrower is better for traction

How are these tires holding up - was thinking about a set - but quite spectacle.

How long have you had these tires? Im looking at the at the same brand and am cautious of the low price and the fact that they come from walmart
I've only had them about a month so I can't speak to longevity. They seem pretty good so far.
How are the tires?
