I’m guessing he is referring to the falken rt660. I use them on my fiesta st and am actually going to order another set next week. Pretty good tires for the price, great dry performance but wet performance is not great.

HPS 5.0 pads. Little less initial bite than the original pads but more overall grab.
I'm running the powerstop Z23 rotors and brake pad kit. Did it early spring last year. Very happy. I hated the initial bite of the stock pads, God forbid I hit a bump while braking. Pricey but happy with the look + performance. Im in the Midwest.
I was pretty unhappy with the short life span/brake dust of the stock rotors/pads, so when it was time to change them I went with: Centric Cryo-Treated rotors, Hawk HP Street 5.0 pads. I got what I was looking for in terms of improvements to longevity and brake dust, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the bite of the stock setup.
Centric high-carbon rotors and Hawk HP Street 5.0s. Less initial bite than the OEM pads, but more stopping force with higher pedal pressures and much less dust.
Yeah, they're alright. Brother had a set on his 2016 Fiesta and didn't have much ill to say. He reckoned they were noisier than the original Goodyear's that came with the car but was happy with the traction.
These tires are too tall. There's a headlight bracket that doesn't touch normally, but if you're turning and the suspension compresses, whether from a bump or cornering, then you will get these gashes in the shoulder of your tire.
I did a comparison and my Toyo R888r were 4 seconds faster on a 1 minute lap than my 595’s on my fiesta ST.
Yeah, I did actually try a set of P-Zeros on my Fiesta Zetec S. They were shockingly bad in damp conditions and, ironically, wore out very quickly. Wouldn't recommend.
Put vogtland lowering springs on the factory struts before I switched to ST suspension coilovers. Stock struts had 6k without the springs then 4k with the springs before the driver side front blew. I was incredibly disappointed.
