Tires Falken or FEDERAL
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.
Tires: Federal 595 rear / Cooper Zeon RS3-A front
I use them daily for about 2 years now in SoCal. Daily drive them. I do fine at track days on them and they lasted quite a long time. Now they are pretty loud however but eh kinda get used to them.
Federal RSRR. My last set lasted me 25k miles which included 4 track days and 2 auto xs
I'd use the OEM Falken Sincera’s. This is because I read this review: "So far I have had no flats or problems with the OEM Falken Sincera’s other than being a bit noisy. They have done ok in the DC area weather where we get little snow and I think 40K for tread wear isn’t too bad."
If you plan on using the Federals for daily driving i do highly suggest looking elsewhere. They are sticky but they are god-awful loud at any speed over 30mph. The tread design makes them hum like no other tire ive ever run on. Track day setup only then the Federal is a great tire to try out. Sticky as hell and very forgiving on the breakaway. Initial turn in is a bit less precise than the Azenis but not by much.
Anyone here running Federal 595s? I’m using them on my Focus ST. In case you’re looking for a great low price tire, id give the 595s a try. Mine handle great in warmth and on rain it’s pretty decent if you’re not flooring it from a slow speed. We’re past snow now and in snow they handled okay as well. Overall, great tire for the price.
I run these on my daily but my daily commute is 8-9 miles total so I just deal with the tire noise. But it is very noticeable. They are rated at 200TW so don't expect the same mileage as a PS4S. 7 to 10K is the average a lot of people report seeing out of the RS-RR
For the money nothing will grip as hard. That being said they need some heat in them to get the most out of them. I run them hard on track and they put a smile on my face. I'm not breaking track records so, again, for the money, great value.
We found them nice for around 5,000mi of spirited driving. They gave good reliable feedback in corners but didn't perform well in wet. I had separation on rear tread twice.
I'd avoid falkens One car I bought had them installed 5k before I bought the car. I had the receipt of everything and they were already below 50% worn. (they were 512's) I then bought another car with Falken 912's that were put on 15k a go and they only have about 3-5k tread left.
