Tires Falken or Goodyear
I have the OEM Goodyear Eagle Sport on my Si and would frankly prefer the Pro Contacts that I had on my 10g hatch.
I bought Goodyear assurance weatheready tires for my Toyota RAV4 in 2020. I rotated them in the beginning every 5k miles for the first couple years.Then I got lazy. BUT I am going on my 5th year with them and they still are holding up strong. Yes they are a bit noisy and not the most comfortable ride but they are waaayyyy better than any other tire I have had in the past. Including michelins (they were the worst). I have had great experiences with them. I drive approximately 10-15k miles a year in snow ice and rain. I personally highly recommend them.
I put Falken wild peaks on my 21 when I first bought it, and just replaced them at 71,000 miles. They still had plenty of tread, but they were starting to dry rot. It was my fault for using degreaser to clean my tires. I put the exact same tires back on.
WRX just changed out it’s stock Dunlop to Falken Aklimate at 68k miles and haven’t even changed it into its Blizzaks for winter. It held up beautifully even when we had ice shut down I-80 and a good portion of Nebraska. Liked the Aklimate so much I got our Chevy HHR a set along with new rims. Daughter had absolutely no issues on ice with them.
If you haven’t replaced the stock geolandsrs do yourself a favor and go get some falken wildpeak AT. Way better tires. Less road noise but more traction.
Get a set of Falken Wildpeak Trail A/Ts and rotate them every 10k front to back. You can run them all year and get 60k miles out of them.
Go to Walmart and get some new tires if you are stuck on pricing.... They sell Goodyear there lol
I’ve got the Goodyear F1’s that came from the factory and I’ve been rotating them ever 6,500 miles. I recently went to Discount Tire for an air refill and they mentioned I’m at 5/32 on my treadmill depth and that I’d need to replace them soon. Is that a normal mileage for these tires to last?
40k is a pretty good run for the OE Falkens. I recently replaced the same OE tires on my Crosstrek at 24k. They had been already performing poorly in the wet for a while.
Those oem tires are some of the worst I've seen, pretty much anything would be an upgrade.
