Tires Hankook or Falken
Hankook rs4 is a great seat time tire. If you want it to last for the most amount of autocross/track days and seat time that’s a good option.
Well, FWIW, my new set of Hankook iON i-Cept SUV (IW01A) 275/35R21 is behaving as expected in the wet Vancouver weather. Had them on for a month now, running 35 PSI front and 36 PSI rear, it's comfortable, quiet and grippy.
Compared to the stock summer Pirellis my Hankooks don't skip/rub at low speed at full lock, get going better off the line in the wet, and seem very predictable into the corners.
Best tire I've ever ran is the Falken f-ice studded. I've now bought my 4th or 5th set. Low speed they're all pretty similar but the f ice handles highway speed surface changes with less drama than anything I've ever ran.
Im running a set of hankook dynapro at3 extremes. I love the white lettering and they honestly have been performing great. Kick butt in the snow and they are super quiet on the highway
Falken Wildpeak AT4 in load range SL have been fantastic. I had older Duratraks on it before, and hated them.
Sailun Terramax AT2, or Falken Rubitrek AT01, only tires i will run on mine. The falkens are amazing on fuel economy and noise, Sailuns are cheaper and only slightly nosier, still good fuel economy.
My wife has the Wildpeak A/T on her Crosstrek, 225 tread width. Absolutely bonkers incredible tires, but the next set will be 215. In the snow, the narrower width cuts down noticeably better in deeper snow.
I had the ion Evo AS on my M3P and they were a nice tire, quiet, smooth. Put them on to get more life from them than the Pilot Sport 4S I had previously. Ultimately I missed the way the PS4s handled on the car and went back to them. Also note that if you have the 20” uberturbines the ion evos leave a gap around the bead of the rim and rocks do get trapped in that space frequently.
I have that exact car and it came with those Hankooks. They’re just junk tires. Mine lasted 30k miles and the tread ripped off one of them.
Stock tires on my CrossTrek were Ziex Falkens and were done by 30k. But stock tires are crap for the most part
