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.
Owner reviews for tires
225/45R18 Nokians on aluminum Aspen Satin Black rims. Working fine so far, live just Southwest of Toronto though so not too much snow so far.
Hankook RS4s have my recommendation if you're not going to compete in sanctioned time attacks where prizes are on the line. I value tire longevity rather than saving one or two seconds per lap with a theoretical perfect racing line(not something that's bound to happen often).
I’m running 225/45/18 Nexen Winguard Sport 2 Winters with 18x8 NS1502
I'm from Quebec and I have Fast FC04 19x8.5 Bronze wheels with 225/40R19XL NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R3 .
I have 225/40/19 nexen winguard sport 2 on my stock wheels.
Got new Weatherpeaks installed and drove through fresh snow and slush today. Hit the brakes and the ABS barely engaged. Handling was great but then again they're new.
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.
The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.
The problem is that the more aggressive the snow [tires] the noisier they were. After 4 seasons on Blizzaks I was ready to burn them.
