Tires Hankook or Falken
Hankook RS4 will last forever, but they are endurance tires - they will be on the slower side of the 200 spectrum.
660 is good bang for the buck. Not as fast as the top tier tires but two or three times the lifespan.
I went with fallen 615+ not the fastest but should last a good number of runs
I'm in a similar boat as you I did the 615k's last season. Personally I am overly pleased with these tires they have been everything I've wanted them to be. And I'll probably get another set of them this year.
The 615k+ is a great budget tire. I did my first season on them and got second place in my regions rookie class. Then, I kept them and still use them for less competitive/ higher run count events. I've done 3 schools on them too. I love these tires. They're fun to drive on, take heat well, and just last. They do amazingly well in the rain also.
So I ended up going with the 185/65r14 Hankooks (891 revs/mile) ... Balancing is actually pretty good for a manual bubble-level. Smooth up to ~85mph and then a tiny vibration starts and gets a little worse around 95. That's fine.. I stay under 80mph 99.999% of the time anyway. And speedo is dead-accurate, now, too, for the first time in my 19 years of ownership.
I just put 4x Hankook Kingerys on my 81 240d. 195/70/R14. Decent priced tire that suites SoCal driving. I got about 65k out of these on my rav4 previously.
I also have AT3Ws. I live in MN/WI and we have sub 0 temps usually long stretches and they don’t honestly do that great when nice fluffy snow becomes the hard packed stuffed mixed with dry pavement.
They are a good tire since I have had them on for 65,000 miles just this set… ( get new tires soon )
I think I will be going another direction. They just get too loose when temps get colder.
Summer spring fall driving they have been great.
I’ve got the Falken Wildpeaks on a 2008 F350 Dually and they’re ok on dry roads. I put them on all seven wheels 6 + the spare) in 2019 and do regular rotations. Today while pulling one to get a slow leak fixed I noticed substantial weather checking down between the lugs; it concerns me, even though it’s been 3.5 years I’m nowhere near the 50,000 miles tread wear warranty. I’ll add these tires really suck in any kind of slick mud and snow/ice on or off the road. Terrible on ice and snow.
Falken FK510 - HARD NO from me. I corded a set in 10,000 miles between daily & 6 HPDEs.
