Tires Pirelli or Falken
Pulled the trigger on the Falken WILDPEAK A/T 255/55R19 much beefier tires. No way the Ms. can curb rash the rims now.
I run the 220tw PZero on my MK7.5 GTI. Nevertheless, a great tire. Plenty of grip, not bad in the rain and can take the abuse of the occasional track day- I’m really surprised as to how they can handle the heat cycle and wear evenly at the track. On the street- they offer more performance than you can throw at them. Daily driving, they don’t wear as quickly as you’d expect a tire in the low 200tw range to wear.
Reliable. 30k miles. No issues at all except for the Pirellis that were worn way faster than expected.
I’ve had Falken Pro G5 all-season tires on my Fit for a year now, and for the price, they are very impressive. They grip surprisingly well when taking corners, and they haven’t experienced any dry rot or cracking despite the hot weather here in Texas.
Ran the 660’s this weekend. Like the feel and the grip on my Camaro. They did well with a heavy car.
Anyways, I'll be looking to get the RT's after seeing how well they perform locally I was amazed by them
Ran the 660s for the 1st time today on my CAM SS 1LE. Small, tight course, but they felt great.
I think the 660's are the 'smart choice' being $200 cheaper and would probably last longer than the Yoks, specifically because of only 1.3\* camber and outside shoulder wear. I've also heard they don't heat cycle out like the RE's, which is a huge bonus IMO.
Bought 2012 TDI sport with 18" wheels new at dealer 2 months ago. Vehicle sat on dealer lot for 5 months or so. Test drove vehicle, steering wheel shook enough to see it at any speed over 50 mph. THIS was probably from flat spots on tires from sitting, we bought vehicle and dealer agreed to put new tires on and replaced with exact same Pirelli's that vehicle was equipped with.
Skip the P-zeros, I hate mine. There's so much road noise I feel like the tires are made of cement sometimes.
