Tires Hankook or Falken
I had the Falken Azenis on my S, I liked them. Great value summer tire and I don’t need no stinking snow grip here in Phoenix.
What a relief! Thanks to your chart, I see that I won't need to fork $329 per tire to replace the MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S mounted on my Model 3 Performance. It looks like the AZENIS FK510 will do the same job for a bit more than half the price of the Michelin!
I got falken sincera tires for my 15 fit and 13 Yaris. No issuues and they were cheap and high mileage rated. I recall on my Yaris they took a little getting used to as the sidewalls seemed to have more play but with the Honda they felt just like the ones that came new with my car.
The noise on the RS-RRs is the single worst ive ever run. If they are half as loud as the RS-RR im already sold. For the price the RS-RR is a great track day/autocross tire although they are not top tier(RE-71R/Rival) around my region.
I'd use the OEM Falken Sincera’s. This is because I read this review: "So far I have had no flats or problems with the OEM Falken Sincera’s other than being a bit noisy. They have done ok in the DC area weather where we get little snow and I think 40K for tread wear isn’t too bad."
An alternative to the Indy 500 tires is the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2. I have them on both of my cars and love them, although they are just a little bit on the noisy side.
I had hankook ventus v12 evo2's during the summer in the northeast and had them on many days where it got below 30, I just made sure to drive slower and I didn't have any problems.
Thus far, I'm happy with the Falken tires in 205/60-16 that came on my car. I'm not shy to take turns at higher speeds than everyone around me and these aren't giving me much to complain about so far. I am surprised! Did well in a big rain fall.
The cheapest ones I would consider were the Hankook Ventus V-12's at $199 each, many others are closer to $400 a piece including the OEM Toyo's.
The biggest tire buying mistake I've made was a set of Hankook V12's(not the newer evo2 version, which should be better). Honestly had them off my car in three weeks, the only good qualities being comfort and noise level. Feedback was awful, overall grip in both dry and wet was just adequate, and the sidewalls seemed non-existent at a variety of pressure settings.
