I use to run their ar1 then I saw the falken rt660 came out and those last longer. Grip feels about the same, I got a faster time on the falkens.
I ran Bridgestone Duravis R238 on my 43' Cyclone when I owned it. Zero issues, it's a heavy LT highway rib tire
Update after driving to, on and back from the track - The grip is much greater than stock Hankooks, was a wet day but I still found the grip to be quite impressive. The brakes stayed cool without any signs of fade or losing brake feel.
Just went from a Q5S to Q5A (190/55/17) . The grip is similar but there's less squish so it feels a bit more rigid. Rode Malibu canyons all day yesterday. Did great everywhere. The extra grooves helped keep me planted on dirty and wet roads. It's $100 cheaper than Q5S too.
Really liking my Falken Aklimates. I have had them about 9 months....summer/fall/rochester ny winter/ and a very wet spring. I got stuck in gnarly northern Kentucky tornado storms a week ago...super safe and planted in sketchy standing water situations surrounded by big rigs...these tires are so well balanced in Every condition. Def sticky enough for pushing it in twisties and carving big off-ramps and spirited city freeway missions. Getting 36+ mpg and I drive like a 16 yo more than I would like to admit.
Track setup installed! EBC Blue rear, IS2500 front, RS3 brake ducts, 18x9 +42 Superspeed Wheels with Falken Azenis RT615K+. Its flush af! And yes, Even though its a 200tw hard sidewall high noise tire, the ride is so much better than stock OEMs
Wildpeaks replaced my BFG K02s. I’ve got about 15k miles on mine so far and like them much more than the BFGs. Wildpeaks were very noticeably quieter than BFGs, but it does seem that road noise above 60mph has increased a bit as the tires aged. Not sure why that is. Wildpeaks seem to have better wet and snow traction as well.
Have had 2 sets of the Bridgestones on my 2019 Rabbit Edition Gti..2nd set was not my choice..but they were free....not 2 bad..kind of noisy 30 K on the first set..OEM
I live in Massachusetts, I found the grandtek to be terrible in the snow. I got rid of them the first time I slid.
40k is a pretty good run for the OE Falkens. I recently replaced the same OE tires on my Crosstrek at 24k. They had been already performing poorly in the wet for a while.
