I bought the Weatherpeak 2 years ago. They were great tires in messy weather. No complaints at all there. But they wore down very quickly. Like in 25-40k.
Bought Weatherpeaks instead of CC2 for our Crosstrek, no difference in MPG. They're quieter than the stock Falkens.
Snow traction isn't as good as dedicated winter tires but it's good enough for the winters around here.
Just slapped some Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4’s and they are honestly not too bad. Got them about 3 weeks ago, been about 1,500 miles. I shall see how the outer edges fair on these!
Rain was heavy and wind was high in southern Indiana today. Really good grip on the rain, and good stopping distance as well. Had someone panic brake for a branch falling and the car slowed down faster than theirs did!
If you need dedicated winter tires, best option is to buy a second set of rims and winter specific tires, Blizzaks are a personal fav of mine.
I’d recommend some sporty tires like Michelin pilot sport 4s or Pirelli p zero.
Great track tire. I have about 6 hours of track time on mine and have maybe one event left in them.
I have 4 track days on my RE71RS on my NB miata and still have a day or two of life left. Roughly ~10 hours
of driving the piss out of those tires.
I put Michelin Cross climate 2's on after the stock tires wore out. Been super happy with them. Much better in the rain than the Bridgestone EL 440's. Maybe a slight loss in fuel economy 1-2 mpg in certain situations but mostly unchanged. I'll probably stick with the Michelin's going forward.
I use RE-71RS on my BMW M4 (3900 lbs) with Autocross since June and about 10 events so far and the outer shoulder blocks’ treads are about 50% worn. Took it to my first track day at NJMP Lighting and now outer shoulder are essentially slicks.
I have the Michelin Defenders LTX M/S on mine. Those Duelers were crap and had to replace them at 35k miles.
