Tires Nexen or Falken
I have 225/40/19 nexen winguard sport 2 on my stock wheels.
I'm a Falken guy. Forget all those other over- priced name brands.
Interesting.
The tread on these looks a lot like my wildpeak at trail tires in the us. Nothing but good things to say about those in pretty much every condition, so maybe worth a try.
These tires look great! Your pic was the main reason I bought the same for my CX-9 and they look just as great!
Nexen winter guard sport.
I have those on my magnetite gray sport with stock wheels also! About 15K on them and they’re still amazing. Great in the snow, quiet, no walking.
Switched to A/T3W’s on my ‘20 TRD OR after running KO2’s down to min tread (18 OR previous). I will say my current Wildpeaks are way better on wet roads, equally chunky in snow/mud, but too soon to judge on longevity, my KO2’s lasted forever, but so far I prefer the latter, including the price.
Live in Minnesota had the Wildpeaks and they did great on the rain and snow. I wanted a more aggressive look so switched to the Duratracs and they were just as good performance wise.
i agree, i run falken rt-615 on my mustang, they are ok in the rain. old pavement when wet proves to be a little tricky at times.
So, my buddy has a Mk2 Supra. He has so many cars, this one lives at my house. When he first bought the car 4 years ago, it had been sitting for a while, and the tires were shot, so he had tires-easy send a set of Nexen N3000's in close to the original size to North Carolina, had them installed so that he could drive back to Pittsburgh. So, we took the car to Hershey at the beginning of last year, and the tires have not covered that many miles since purchase, so three years of mild summer driving. They started to vibrate BAD after we started back. At first, we could not figure out what in the hell was wrong, so we stopped, and the tire had a HUGE bulge in the middle of the tread. Once again, in the middle of the tread. So, we had to throw on the 30 year old spare, a Dunlop SP3000 that looked comically old. So we started off again, and less than 10 miles later, it started to vibrate terribly again. Thinking that the spare was dying, we were stuck in a single lane cattle pen on the PA Turnpike, and were limping it at 35 until we could get to an emergency pull off. We were just about to pull it over after it crossed back over to the end of the construction zone, and BLAM! We pulled over to find the OTHER N3000 on the rear axle had **** the bed, actually blowing out the center of the tread. It looked like the belts had all just blown out of the hole. We had to wait 6 hours for a tow truck for a 4 hour tow home. It sucked. He found a couple of used tires at a place down the street from him, some old Grand Am brand tires to tide him over until he could replace all of them with a decent tire. So, after a couple of shows and sitting at my house again, I took it to Youngstown to get snow tires for my wife's new Fiesta, about an hour away, and........WHOOMP WHOOMP WHOOMP....the third out of four started to bulge in the middle. So on went the old Dunlop spare, which got me home. I wouldn't buy Nexens again if you paid me, and I had N5000's on my truck for a couple of years, kinda liked them. BUT NEVER AGAIN.
