Tires Falken or BRIDGESTONE
AT4W - 265/75R/16 stock SR suspension.
Initial weekend thoughts:
- I sit slightly higher with these bigger tires. Just barely enough for me to notice though as I look over my steering wheel. I previously had on the stock 245/75R/16 HW tires.
-MPG’s don’t take a hit on regular roadways up to 45 MPH but getting on the freeway is when I feel some resistance. The truck feels heavier/slower and MPGs are reduced by 2-3 MPGs on the freeway as I’m accelerating more frequently to reach and stay at my desired speed.
-There is virtually no road noise difference from the stock tires, at least not what I’ve been able to tell so far.
-I feel the road more, speed bumps feel more sensitive for example.
-The A/T tread is picking and throwing up some rocks from the road.
I’ve only had them for the weekend so far but I love the functionality of these tires and they also add that desired aggressive look I have been longing for. I’m excited to take these off pavement real soon.
with the Falkens on, the traction is a lot better than the stock Hankooks.
I run Bridgestone Potenzas on my ‘05 987.1.
They have been great.
Currently running Bridgestone Potenza RE980A/S+ on my E90 and they are sublime.
I just got new tires. Went from MT Geolandars to Wildpeak AT4W.
I miss the more aggressive look of the MT but I’m loving the smoother ride of the AT4Ws.
Recently got a set of 4 Bridgestones with only a couple thousand miles on them for $250 with free shipping.
I have Falken Wildpeak AT4W LT285/70R17 on mine and with the rims they weigh about 92lbs each and I’ve had zero problems.
The Bridgestone RE71RS is a 200tw performance tire. They will wear quickly - meaning you might get 10k miles out of them (give or take).
Extreme summer class is a tire where your comfort’s not even on the radar. I took my re71RS on a hour highway drive to inital heat cycle then. Way more rough and loud then Conti ECS02 I daily
The 660s are nowhere close to as good as even RE71RS. And IMHO having run them, are not in the conversation for top 200tw Autox tires
