Tires Falken or Nokia
I put Falken 520's on my Stinger about a year ago and have been happy. They seem to be wearing well (for such a heavy car)
I've been happy with all-weather (different from all-season tires) made by Nordman or Nokian tires. I use Nokain WRG4s. They are great for wet roads and some snow, but can have issues if the snow gets really packed down and slick. I find my tires maintain their thread life fairly well although you'll get less cumulative life out of them compared to switching between summer/winter tires.
Falken Wildpeaks. 20k miles so far. 3/32" wear. Quieter than factory Pirelllis.
In California I use Falken Sincera.Cheaper than some and just fine for NorCal.
I have a 2013 sport, live in Michigan and just put Falken Aklimates. An all weather snow stamped tire. Just had my first snow rip in them today and they hook up nice. A little louder than my previous tires (tiger paws).
I had R3s on my previous vehicle (Tesla M3) and they were fantastic...I can only imagine the R5s are even better. They made a HUGE difference here in the Dakota winters.

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 replaced to OEM Falken ziex100as as they were horrible in snow on my Mazda.
i purchased 4 nokia tires in july of 2024. by june of 2025 the tires are completely bald. i bought a good tire rated to 80,000 miles and have them rotated and balanced every other oil change. in my entire life i never seen a tire wear down so fast.
