When driving on the crappy access roads, the Maverick was indeed louder like our Honda. I'm with the guy who suggested the cheap sound deadening mats on amazon or if u wanna spend a little more, I'm a huge fan of Dynomat since I guess I'm trying to go deaf by 35 with deafening aftermarket subs .
just crank up the radio and be done with it.
Solid points. Dealing with insulating behind rear seats or pack the back using factory cleats (?) could be a help.
In mn I just plan on packing a bunch of emergency cold weather gear behind the back seat and keeping it there. Figured it would be dual purpose for sound dampening too.
I had Continental and Cooper ONCE, I doubt there will be a second for either one. Continental where many years ago and Coopers weren't as long ago. Had lots of Michelins and loved the Falken on one of my F150's, best handling and ride.
In my experience in the plants- Michelin has a more Involved process in building, more layers. Continental builds plants where they get tax credits and the labor force isn’t there. They have a lot of quality issues.
Interesting. The stock yokohamas on my mazda almost killed us once due to poor wet traction. They didn't last very long either. I had used continental all seasons in the past with good results and when I replaced the yokos with contientals the difference in traction was very noticeable, like someone was gluing it to the road. We literally just had the exact same experience replacing hankooks on my wife's kia with continentals as well.
Which falkens? The wildpeak a/t trails look good for my needs.
