Tires Falken or Continental
Wow great work man thanks! I have Falken FK510 tires on my S. FWIW, excellent tire but holy shit was I surprised to see the rears were almost bald after 1 summer. (About 10000 kms)
I went with Conti purecontact LS in 225/50. Fits the rim great. Conti specifies 6-8" width and this rim is 7". I know wider isn't considered better for winter but it's a great tire and will do much better than what comes oem in the cold and snow. Still a narrower contact patch than what comes on the SEL. Same revolutions per mile as the stock 205/55. These are all season as opposed to all whether but get better snow and ice reviews than many all weathers.
I've had Continental DWS06 235/40/18 225/45/18 tires on my 2011 Speed and I loved them. The 235/40 had more grip but the 225/45 ride better. Simply put, the DWS06 tires are the best tires I've ever owned.
I had the Falken Azenis on my S, I liked them. Great value summer tire and I don’t need no stinking snow grip here in Phoenix.
What a relief! Thanks to your chart, I see that I won't need to fork $329 per tire to replace the MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S mounted on my Model 3 Performance. It looks like the AZENIS FK510 will do the same job for a bit more than half the price of the Michelin!
I got falken sincera tires for my 15 fit and 13 Yaris. No issuues and they were cheap and high mileage rated. I recall on my Yaris they took a little getting used to as the sidewalls seemed to have more play but with the Honda they felt just like the ones that came new with my car.
the mechanic that put on my new Continentals reckons I'll get 20,000ks out of them.

I currently have a set of Falken's 225-40-18 and I must say that I have gotten about 23k out of them and at about the 20k the tires had cracks all over, the handling wasnt great but wasnt bad, they are not noisy in my opinion.
the Contis (ContiProContact NON Eco Plus) that came stock on my '14 Jetta were utter crap. Couldn't balance them despite multiple shops and Road Force, etc. Replaced with el cheapo Hankooks and it was like a new car, smooth as silk.
