The BEST All Weather Tires for 2026/27 P7 of 8

The Falken Aklimate finished seventh. It set the fastest dry handling lap, but in the wet it lacked the grip of the premium tires and was a little imprecise at the limit, and in the snow it was safe only because it did not have the grip to turn in. It was also the weakest tire on ice and the loudest. I expected more from it, and for an all weather tire it gives away too much in the wet and the snow.
