Tires Falken or YOKOHAMA
If you’re not mudding and want to improve the ride then the Falkens with their mileage warranty is the best bang for the buck.
The EVOLUTION line from Cooper is their “cheap” line, recently bought by Goodyear. Have not been a fan of quality since the buyout
Wife's focus had the yokohoma blue earth gt, they provided good grip wet or dry....managed to outrun essex police with them on when it was stolen as well.
I've been looking at the Toyo NanoEnergy3 for about £200 fitted, but also saw I could get the Falken SN832 for around £240 fitted.
As far as tyres go, I swear by Yokohama’s.
They can be a little soft and they don’t last forever but I’ve never found the limit of grip and I have a highly modified car and drive like I stole it.
Cheap versus branded - branded will be better everytime. In a small car with little brakes you want the best contact possible.
My falken wild peaks are quiet, just as grippy off road, way better on road, and can handle rain and snow like it’s nothing. I would never ever go back to a KO2 after getting my wild peaks.
I saved 200 dollars going with the Falken’s and haven’t had any complaints. The tires have been wearing much better than the bfg’s too.
switched to Falken, and they've yet to disappoint...first set went on in 2018 and still doing excellent!
But now running 912's littel better in snow, and wet. Haven't really pushed them on dry roads.
BEWARE: Failed Yokohama Stock Tire. Ive seen other posts about similar blowouts from primes but didn't pay too much attention since I planned on eventually switching wheels anyways. but this just happened driving 70 on the freeway. They are the stock Yokohama's that came with my 22 Prime.
