I’ve had the falken at3’s for the last 4 years. Amazing tires that have treated me very well. Great in all conditions with good throttle control and very good wet weather grip compared to the KO2’s I had before.
Owner reviews for tires
Cooper winter evolution are pretty aggressive in snow and ice and studdable
blizzaks are the best in my eyes. have also used michelin x-ice, pretty similar results.
Michelin's X-ice's are pretty competitive.
I think Continental VikingContact 8 would be on par with R5s when it comes to function.
I had Pilot sport as3 a few years back but got as4 when I got my new wheels and they’re good. They’re able to keep the power down, some wheel spin in second, with my new build that makes 655 to the wheels.
I was deciding between these same tires and I went with the dws06+ due to the fact I drive up to the mountains quite often. Have been more than impressed with their ability in every weather condition and will be getting a new set in the next couple of months.
You could definitely push the Michelin‘s harder and dry weather. They are also great in rain. But I live in Pennsylvania, so the DWS 06 are the ones for me. I don’t need to constantly be pushing my tires to the edge and with these, they definitely do have a little more give and a little more slip than the Michelin, but the amount of snow traction I get is light years ahead of the Michelin by far even though the Michelin are listed as an all season they are more of a three season tire.
Wife’s Audi came with Pirelli’s they seemed ok but we did switch to Michelin when we switched wheels. The Pirelli’s only had 5k miles and seemed to have an odd wear pattern. Much happier with the Michelins
I was naive and thought I'd be able to get away with the stock Dunlop tires until my breaks locked up on a snowy road approaching a red light at 5mph. Get some all weather tires asap!
