The tires are very nice; comfortable and quiet, very good in all the conditions the Northeast brings.
Pulled the trigger on the Falken WILDPEAK A/T 255/55R19 much beefier tires. No way the Ms. can curb rash the rims now.
I’ve had Falken Pro G5 all-season tires on my Fit for a year now, and for the price, they are very impressive. They grip surprisingly well when taking corners, and they haven’t experienced any dry rot or cracking despite the hot weather here in Texas.
Ran the 660’s this weekend. Like the feel and the grip on my Camaro. They did well with a heavy car.
Anyways, I'll be looking to get the RT's after seeing how well they perform locally I was amazed by them
Ran the 660s for the 1st time today on my CAM SS 1LE. Small, tight course, but they felt great.
I think the 660's are the 'smart choice' being $200 cheaper and would probably last longer than the Yoks, specifically because of only 1.3\* camber and outside shoulder wear. I've also heard they don't heat cycle out like the RE's, which is a huge bonus IMO.
Just ran RT660s. They're fast. They didn't grease out on me. I won't be looking back
Around Thanksgiving last year, I had two Michelin MXV4 Eco+ OEM stock tires that were worn and need of replacing. I followed suggestions of colleagues and Consumer Reports and bought two Falken Ziex ZE-512, and installed them on the front of my 1998.5 Turbo Passat Wagon. Although I kept the same size (195/65/R15) I was impressed immediately: much better handling, steering response, road feel, as well as seriously improved wet and dry grip. Extremely stable at 90mph+ speeds, and good cornering. After about 1000 miles however, I thought I had front-end or transmission problems, as there was this terrible WHOO=WHOO sound coming from the front. I took it to a shop and they said no trouble, just tire noise. Noise worsened, so took to VW dealer in Maine while on the road; they said that car was aligned perfectly per spec, but Falken tires were \"cupped\", and worn on the inside.
Car was on all seasons that were almost new(falken 912's). Going down the highway at 35 in 4th gear, I was running about 1k rpm and any touch of the gas would spin the tires. Starting on a hill was impossible.
