I have a set of Falken FK510s on my car. Pretty cheap, enough grip that with an upgraded rmm but without a torque gussett bar I still get pretty gnarly wheel hop. Proper grip especially in the wet which is kinda wild, and I've made it through a couple winters with them in Ohio.
I have these tires on my 2023 model 3 rwd. They handle very well in snow. We received about 8 inches of snow a few weeks ago in central PA. Minimal sliding.
I just put two on our Lincoln MKC. and they ride nice.
Hankook su best buy gume, pogledaj testove guma, uvek su tu negde sa premium brendovima po ocenama, a jeftinije su dosta. Ja baš imam 205/65/15 hankook ventus prime, evo od marta 2018, i dalje su kao nove.
Did the switch today. Ill try to report back on range. over original 47.5K miles, i was getting 289 kw/mile on 2020 LR MY with 20 inch inductions and OG goodyears. Madison Wi weather pattern. I am pretty fanatical about maxing out range on highway (drafting behind sprinter vans, etc) so curious to see what happens. Even if range stays the same, worth it for tire cost reduction, comfort, and pothole protection. I plan on using these year round as I am not a fast or aggressive driver and just want cheaper tires and better winter performance than the horrible good years.
i trash mine, and i’ve never had one go flat. last time i had my truck serviced they pulled 9 nails out of my Falkens & they were all still holding pressure (i work in construction). obviously i replaced them all but the fact they were holding air still made me just buy another set.
I went with the Hankook (I know you said you didn't want them but wanted to share my experience) and have been very happy with them. Live in Sweden and we have this winter received unusually much of both black ice and deep snow. The Hankook's have worked surprisingly well during this winter as well as the dryer and warmer period before the winter arrived (got them after summer).
So 5 thousand miles ago (at 50K miles) I finally replaced those Bridgestones with the Hankooks because they were the only ones that I could find that seemed to check all the boxes; that said, it was a huge gamble as I'd never tried Hankooks before on any vehicle and knew virtually nothing about them.
And wow did it pay off. I think I measured that interior sound levels have dropped about 5 dB at 70 mph (from 70 dB to 65 dB); ride comfort is extraordinarily improved to the point that it feels like a newer build Model Y with their improved suspension (I know because I've rented them via Hertz a few times); and crucially -- and this is coming from somewhat of a tire geek here -- I have never, ever experienced such astonishing hydroplaning resistance before. During our recent California storm (Feb 2024) I had the chance to drive through absolutely bucketing, torrential conditions on the freeway, and standing water that would have previously turned our car into a boat were carved through like an icebreaker ship through, er, ice. Or a hot knife through butter. Whatever.
And yes, best of all, our (still inexplicably dismal) range has jumped a whopping 34% or so on average, from about 145 mi to about 195 mi
They are pretty hard tires. Loud, slip in the rain if you give it enough gas, don't feel as solid in a corner. But you'll get better gas mileage on them than a sport tire and they will take much longer to wear out.
I had a set of the Falken’s on my 2016 2500. At about 20k miles it started ripping the lugs off the tire. I noticed it one day on one of the rear tires. Just the whole chunk of rubber gone. Then it kept happening more on both the tires on the rear.
