Tires Falken or NITTO
I did replace with wildpeaks on my Crosstrek and I have to say they're 10/10, would buy again. No additional road noise, handles well on the road, and significantly better performance off the pavement.
Check out the Falken ZIEX ZE100 A/S. Mazda made these standard on some Mazda6 trim levels. Traded my 2016 6 in for a 2018 6 and it had these. Felt like the car was riding on a layer of marshmallows. Super quiet.
I have a set of these, 6 years. Never a single issue. They are a little harder but nothing like what you would expect from the comments.
I’m replacing them tomorrow with a new set 6 years to the day from when I 1st put them on.
They are amazing tires. Hands down the best I have ever owned in 30 years of driving.
Nitto tires use a lot of the same tech as Toyo (who owns them) so you are just seeing a decent AT truck tire wearing like it should. All the no grip comments are funny this is a truck tire not a sport tire. Nitto has a winter line as well that is great and very inexpensive.
Now I also got some UHP tires (Falken Azenis FK510) in 235/45/17 and am really pleased with them, they got a lot of grip!
I’m rocking the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W really nice tire and winter rated as well, not much road noise, awesome in the snow, do a lot of gravel road driving as well and they hold up real nice.
Got a set last summer on my Scion im 17 inch rims. When they are new they do have some noise but after 100 miles or so they quiet down. They have really good traction but they aren't performance tires. They will grip the road nicely but if pushed to far they will squeal. I will say they have a great wet road performance and actually feel like they are connected to the road. Not A/T tires but they break really well in the rain and even did really well on a loose gravel road.
I put a set of Nittos on my F-150 and love them. It came with crappy all terrain tires that were noisy and didn’t handle well in the rain. The new tires are far more quiet, especially at interstate speeds, and have better grip when the weather isn’t cooperating.
I had 512s on my cabriolet, and they were decent.
Wrote my car off into an enbankment on NT05's in the rain while driving normally.
