Tires Toyo or FEDERAL
Toyo extensa is budget friendly just make sure to rotate them when it’s time
I've gone through two sets of nitto ridge grapplers, and recently switched to toyos. I like the toyos better.
I had some toyo open country at+ on mine loved them, good ride and perfect off road. I bought them because they are 75% cheaper here compared to bf KO's
The Toyo at3 on the other hand has been great, a lot lighter which makes driving a lot more fun and less fuel consumption, basically no road noise and a lot cheaper then the ko2's
Federal 595's are to my knowledge, the best bang for your buck.
I like Hankook but used Toyo observe before. It was fine and better than any all season.
I have used the 595-RSR tires for 8 years now, several sets. yes they are noisy, get worse with miles but I noticed the newest ones were even louder! These tires are the ultimate in grip/handling, one of the few that can put FWD power to the ground. Make my cars handle like its on rails and they don't squeal when pushing to the limit around corners. They are so sticky they pick up all the rocks/debris and throw it up in your wheel wells/rockers. I think they are easily one the best handling tire out there. Very stiff sidewalls, but extremely loud (like louder than winter tires). If you can handle the sound and dont expect a lot of miles out of them, go for it.
I've slashed sidewalls and upgraded to thicker sidewalls (Toyo AT 2), never encountered a sidewall puncture after that.
Unless these were going to be specific track tires, I would not go with the Federal RS-RR's. I use them as my track tires and they're great for that, but they're a very loud tire. I got a flat on my daily set and waiting on the shipment and to mount and balance so I've been using the Federal's for my day to day driving and after 30mph, it's so loud in my car. Every passenger I've had always ask what the humming sound is and now I just joke it's my exhaust drone
Had horrible experiences with these tires on my Focus ST, chunked really quickly and weren't as fast as the RS-RR's
