Tires FEDERAL or Cooper
Federal 595 RS-R. It's a very well priced tyre.
I have slightly stretched Federal RS-RRs that still grip as much as the meaty Hankook V12s I used to run. Very affordable, but I've heard they're very poor in the rain.
I can’t speak for the Falken tires but I have Cooper Discoverer A/T’s and they’re amazing! had em for a year now and they still look brand new
Federal FZ-201 M tires. They were as fast as my used Hoosier R7s on the same course. Ended up about 1 second faster on a 1:15 lap vs the R7s. Fairly communicative towards the limits. On Auto Cross they were very sticky.
All-season Cooper CS5 Ultra in 225/45-17 work great in wet, comfy with poopy handling. Here on 7.5" wide wheels.
Tires: Federal 595 rear / Cooper Zeon RS3-A front
The Atlas does a solid job with a little lift (mine is the Forge Motorsports 1.5" [3.8 cm] spacer lift) and some good all-terrain tires (Cooper Discoverer AT3-4S on 17" x 8" rims; 235/75R17s).
I use them daily for about 2 years now in SoCal. Daily drive them. I do fine at track days on them and they lasted quite a long time. Now they are pretty loud however but eh kinda get used to them.
Federals are good but if you are daily driving you will hate how much noise those bastards make, really really fast.
As a competitive tire ? No. As a cheap learning/fun tire? yep. He complained about how soft the sidewalls where, even when over inflated at 45ish psi.
