Tires NITTO or FEDERAL
I've gone through at least 5 sets of 651's over the past 4-5 years of daily driving and autox (07 scion tC & now a 17 BRZ). as a budget tire, really can't complain for learning without breaking the bank.
I have 2017 ecoboost put a 2in leveling kit with Nitto grappler stayed with my original 18in OEM absolutely love it. I lost about 3 miles per gallon but I love it.
I really like the federal command tires, they were an amazing price (around 60$ for 2). They also have a very pronounced grind protection lip on the side wall. On a super hot supper day they have amazing grip and wonderful feedback.
My only complaint is because they are a slick tire, you get amazing rolling, but the second there is a dusting of sand on a hard surface you can slip out pretty easy.
2019 F350. Just replaced these. Good tire, got about 55k out of them (35x12.5, r18). Ran them at 65 psi.
My 35” Nittos lasted 6 years, probably could’ve been a year or two longer if it’s wasn’t for a huge nail
Great tire but doesn't clear mud like a true mud terrain. So it depends on what you are getting into. I have used them in all conditions, and would avoid them only in very muddy conditions, esp clay-mud common in SE US
I had NeoGens on a G35 Coupe and liked them ok. Continentals are better IMO.
I had NeoGens (205/50r15) and liked the way they looked, and they handled great in dry weather... But would break loose in wet pretty easily. And while I had them I didn't notice the road noise until... I got some Continental ExtremeContact Sports (205/50r15) These guys have much less road noise, except at slower speeds where you can hear every single tiny rock and pebble tossed up in the wheel well lol. But they look fantastic and are incredible in dry AND wet weather!
My wife has Nitto 555G2's on her Mustang and complains about it tracking every groove in the road. Her old Nittos didn't do that.
The ride is nice, noise is low, but the wet traction is very poor.
