Tires Falken or Continental
Nice set up! I have had mine on for 100k miles they’re definitely the best tires I have ever bought. Just bought my second pair and hoping to get another 100k.
I have a pair of A/T3s on my Crosstrek and love them. Falken makes a dang good tire.
Continental ECF. They're 200's but more endurance focused. Not a fast tire but can stay consistent through a whole HPDE session. Really good performance in the rain, somehow they move a bunch of water. Long lasting as well... many heat cycles.
I put some Falken Ziex A/S on, no complaints. Was about $850 installed. Rides great, handles great
Too bad you don't have 16s, then you could buy the Continental DWSs(205/50/16s on mine) for the ultimate upgrade in rainy day tire. I spent 45 minutes on Saturday chucking my car actively trying to get it to slip and slide in the rain on mountain road bends and it just wouldn't let go.
I replaced the Dunlops with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s with a bit higher treadwear rating, so hopefully they last much longer with the alignment being fixed.
Off topic but my g35 has front tires from continental dsw06+ they are pretty god damn good.
I got the wildpeak a/t trail on my hybrid...loved it, went on a snow drive to Tahoe and it's lovely
Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.
I don't like the Falken Ziex that comes with the 17 inch wheel.
