As others have said - RT660. Federals and RT615 both not good autocross tires. RT615 more of an endurance compound, Federals just generally a budget tire. RT660 is the real deal and can actually be competitive.

Pros: competitive, real deal
Cons: not good autocross tires

Falken Azenis 660s, stupid amount of grip and do pretty decent in wet situations. These are my "track" tires and I've ran in both situations with tons of predictable situations nothing I couldn't correct. Love em

Pros: stupid amount of grip
Vehicle: Ford Focus

Cons: needed 5mm spacers

Falken has done well by me. Not the smoothest ride imho but good grip and stability.

Pros: good grip, stability
Cons: not smoothest ride

Since the last road rally I've changed out the OEM Firestones for OEM sized Wildpeaks. With the OEM tires I basically had to do the whole event in 4Hi. I've got so much more traction now that I was able to do all of yesterdays event in 2WD with Trac Off.

Pros: more traction
Vehicle: Toyota

I tried the Pirellis on Saturday and was sliding around a bit. Used the Falkens on Sunday and once I got the pressures right, I had good grip with no understeer or oversteer.

Pros: good grip, no oversteer
Cons: need pressure adjustment

Put 215/65/16 Wildpeak Trails on my 2007 x2.5 last week and have similar sentiments as you. Big slower off the line and a bit stiffer but overall really happy so far. Got to hit a long gravel road out hiking this past weekend and the ride felt great. My old michellins would have me fishtailing on a corner over 50km/h, was able to take same corners at 80km/h with confidence.

Pros: ride felt great
Cons: slower off the line
Vehicle: Subaru

I’ve got Wildpeak AT trails on my lifted bugeye and I love them! I got them back in November and took them in snow, mud, rocks, gravel, and pavement and was so impressed. They gripped so well I was able to pull my friend’s 4Runner out of a snowy ditch in my little NA Impreza! I cannot recommend these tires enough! They’re also pretty quiet on the road and are totally comfortable to daily on pavement.

Pros: gripped very well
Cons: none

I bought some Falken Ziex ZE-912s for my Magny Cours because I was hoping to sell my car and I needed something inexpensive. Turns out, they're a pretty good tire. The sidewall is too soft on them for something that claims high performance, but they do grip really well. The suck in the snow however, so I wouldn't depend on them for that (despite their all-season claim).

Pros: good grip, inexpensive
Cons: soft sidewall, bad in snow
Part number: ZE-912S

I've had terrible luck with Falkens. Been quite a few years now, but after multiple pairs I concluded they suck when it's wet and have terrible wear.

Cons: suck when wet, terrible wear
