I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
If you don’t need to run in the rain at all I can’t say enough good things about the NT-01s and their speed/longevity ratio and fantastic feel.
I opted for the Nitto Nomad Grapplers myself!
Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k
I run Pirelli Sottozero runflats every Winter, mostly highway driving, very happy with them.
I have Perilli Sottozero IIs on my clubman JCW. They’ve been good to me.
I had Nitto RidgeGrapplers… I had them for 4 years and had tons of tread left after 40000 miles until I got a new job where my truck stayed on that dark asphalt 10 hours a day and they started cracking
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!
I have a set of these on my Jetta and they suck in the rain. Especially as I near the end of their life
They are nitto neo gen they supposedly say these are great for wet surfaces but the other day my car slid from a small turn going slow.
