Tires Falken or DUNLOP
I recently had a great experience with the Falken RT615K+ going from HPDE 2 to Time Trials. I had 275/35R18's square on my 350z and they lasted me about 11 track days including driving to and from the track a few times. I don't have any personal experience with other 200tw tires but I was satisfied with mine.
I like Falken a lot. Mine didn’t come with Falken but got some Wildpeaks installed after getting our first flat. Got all 4 wheels replaced a little over a year ago and have had zero issues.
I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.
Falken Wildpeak FTW
If you’re not mudding and want to improve the ride then the Falkens with their mileage warranty is the best bang for the buck.
The EVOLUTION line from Cooper is their “cheap” line, recently bought by Goodyear. Have not been a fan of quality since the buyout
I've been looking at the Toyo NanoEnergy3 for about £200 fitted, but also saw I could get the Falken SN832 for around £240 fitted.
My falken wild peaks are quiet, just as grippy off road, way better on road, and can handle rain and snow like it’s nothing. I would never ever go back to a KO2 after getting my wild peaks.
They're good on 40+ weather. And they're loud. Freaking louder than the Blizzaks and those are snow tires with huge knobs. They're stock tires so use em as much as you can then buy better tires.
First came with Michelin tires, had no complaints about them, second came with Dunlop's and they are trash. The tires are loud, and pick up rocks and small pebbles on the outer and inner edges of the tires, that don't fly out while driving. Tires have less than 15k km on them. It's caused some vibration and I've had to manually take them out from time to time.
Just took my Wildpeaks off and good riddance. Best snow capable tire out there but their tread life is an absolute joke. Running the BFG trail terrains now.
