The grip improvement for dirt, mud and snow is very very noticeable. I was at 70-75% tread left after 14k miles. I think 45-50k miles on them is very possible.
I did change the tire out when I got it to Falken Wildpeak A/T’s, so the mileage could be better with different tires. As far as snow and mountain roads, the car work’s amazing.
Falken Wild Peak AT3s, look good and have been great in wet and snow I've been in so far
Hankook RS4s have my recommendation if you're not going to compete in sanctioned time attacks where prizes are on the line. I value tire longevity rather than saving one or two seconds per lap with a theoretical perfect racing line(not something that's bound to happen often).
I'm a Falken guy. Forget all those other over- priced name brands.
If anyone wants good cheap tires, go with something reputable. I and lot of guys in my local Miata club run hankook ventus v2s. Can be had for 60-70$ per tire, and grip is very good for the price. They do wear pretty fast with hard driving but great value.
Interesting.
The tread on these looks a lot like my wildpeak at trail tires in the us. Nothing but good things to say about those in pretty much every condition, so maybe worth a try.
These tires look great! Your pic was the main reason I bought the same for my CX-9 and they look just as great!
Ran them on my S60 back in the day, pretty much exactly what I expected for the price. Only complaint was tread wear, but for a commuting daily they will give you plenty of life.
Car is terrible with stock Falken tires. It goes OK, but stops terrible. I was actually suprised when I took mine out for the first time in the snow. Slide down the hill.
