Tires Falken or DEXTER
It's really surprising how much the ride feels more like a truck now. It must be the side walls, but it's definitely better over the rough stuff too.
I replaced mine at 39k. I went with Falken Azenis FK460, All Seasons. I live in the Boston area. This will be my second winter with them. So far, so great..
Mi am luat falken eurowinter hs02 pro și au fost foarte ok iarna trecuta.
pe ultima masina am avut Falken Eurowinter si au fost foarte bune iarna la munte.
Falkens, better ride and last longer than BFG or Nitto.
I have Walken Wildpeaks A/T 255/55-18 Tires on my 23 MYP. Bought from Tsportline with their overland pkg. Not much range hit and no need to change any speedo.
wild peak, at4 I live in the snow and they work
These tires do not have the same level of grip that the Tempesta P1, RE-71RS, A052s, etc. have, so do not buy these thinking you'll be competitive, because you probably won't be.
Besides that, lets start with the good sides of this tire.
-Very consistent. They do not lose grip even as they get hot, nor do they lack a ton of grip when they're cold.
-Fantastic treadwear. These will definitely last you a couple seasons at the very least. They hold their grip well throughout the entirety of the tread range.
-Responds well to inputs. While these don't have the pure grip of a super 200 tire, they respond well to inputs and are eager to change direction when you need to.
Now lets get to the bad.
-VERY unpredictable. If you start hearing even slight tire squealing, you are right on the limit of grip. These tires snap out from under you easily if you're not careful or don't know the characteristics of these tires.
-Like I said before, these lack a lot of grip compared to the super 200s, but thats kinda something you should expect when buying these tires.
Overall, I'd give the RT615K+ a solid 7/10. They're not very competitive but they're a lot of fun, they're a great tire to learn on, they offer good value in the longevity department, but they're unpredictable compared to some other tires.
I put a set of Falken Ziex 512s on my old Civic and it is the one set of tires I've ever returned under a manufacturer's customer satisfaction warranty. Terrible and made the car feel like a Buick or Ford Econoline where you could saw the wheel back and forth and it would just go straight.
Terrible on my Silverado. Ride like I'm driving on rims
