Tires Hankook or BFGoodrich
BF Goodrich comp 2 we’re the replacement. Much quieter and nicer ride.
BF Goodrich KO2 - have them on my WRX and Crosstrek I absolutely love them.
Tried Blizzaks but went back to iPike Xs. Just can't beat studs.
Not on my focus but I also have bfg sport comp 2’s and they are a good bang for the buck tire too
seattle-ish area here, BFG K02s on my colorado. previously had 2 sets on an older land rover. no ragrets. snow, rain, you name it. they even did ok in some standing water.
Another vote for BFG KO2, have had them on my Tundra for ~50K, more expensive but worth it, IMO.
I would buy them. I have over 100k on a set on my Tacoma. Great tires.
My last set of KO2s went more than 100,000 km. Best tires I've ever had.
When I picked up a set of wheels a few years ago, they had half life G-Force Comp-2 all seasons on them, so I just used those for half a season. 225/45/17 of those were quicker than 205/55/16 Hankook RS3 autocross tires that were probably heat cycled out but had tread left. Point is, those BFGs aren't terrible and the sidewall was stiff enough not to be rolling over.
The GTI comes stock with some pretty bad all seasons (225/40R-18 Hankook Ventos S1 Noble 2). That has got to be one of the most mind boggling decisions because if you’re going for a GTI, you’re probably looking for something “sporty” so why have garbage tires as standard?
