Tires DEXTER or OEM FORD

My 2017 Focus RS with Blizzaks. Nothing I've driven has ever come close.

I'd take the F-150 I already have. It has 3-peak rated tires on it, heated seats, runs on regular, and in the off chance something breaks for some reason, parts are easy to find because they're everywhere. I can confirm it's a beast in the snow even in 2WD because of the tires.

That sucks. It's not the car or rain's fault. These cars are just fine in the rain. You were driving too fast, or following too closely, or have bald tires.

There's some evidence that EVs are harder on tires because they're heavier and accelerate better, but at 10k on my very, very heavy Lightning I'm not seeing that, probably because I drive like a grandma.

I'll add my first two years of ownership review. The past two years the Maverick has hauled everything I've needed without issues.

What's your goal? To become a professional driver (regardless of it being profitable or not)? to find a new fun way to burn money? To live out a dream of driving a car you maybe can't afford on track? I did the drive an exotic before i had a car that was worth taking on track. It was a blast. I have more fun doing hpde now where I get significantly more track time (and get stuck with the cost of tires and rotors and brake pads and fixing things that break and trying to chase gremlins) . While the idea of racing is appealing the cost of racing is not but if that was a goal progressing towards a license and avoiding picking up any bad habits is your best bet.

Here\u2019s the \u201cbad\u201d stuff that I\u2019ve had on mine:\n\n- LED light on the running board went out. Replaced under warranty\n- backup sensor issue: a wire broke (i think) when I did some \u201cspirited\u201d driving on a gravel road. Getting fixed on Monday.\n- rear drive unit seal weeped a bit. Getting fixed on Monday.\n- stock tires sucked.

I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart for my personal vehicles, and they seem to last just fine. Sometimes I have to take them to a real tire shop for re-balance, but most of the time it's fine from the WalMart TLE.

I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.

I’ve used Dextero. They cracked and wore down in less than 20k miles.
