Tires Falken or BRIDGESTONE

I’m on my 3rd set of Falken AZENIS RT615K+ (I have two sets mount right now, one set has been to the dragon twice now. The other set is brand new on a set of LMs I haven’t run yet) First set I had I racked up about 20k miles in 2019 and 2020. I hit Wookies, alpine vagfair, spring breakdown, Radwood Detroit, EuroSummit, trips all over for daily driving. Rain isn’t a concern at all, standing water, slushy rain the tire is phenomenal as shown this past weekend at the tail of the dragon.

I just put four new Bridgestone Ecopia’s on my 2016 LX and I’m noticing a smoother, softer ride. Not much quieter, as I detected a bit more road noise than my last set, but I think that’s because my old tires were so worn down.

I love the wildpeak AT3s. Fantastic traction / durability

I’ve had both Terra’s and Wildpeaks. The wildpeakes outperform the Terra’s in every situation and they look a lot better as well.

I ran the Wildpeaks on a different vehicle & loved them! Looks great & traction through snow was superb!

I love my wildpeaks but they’re fucking HEAVY. If you don’t mind a fairly noticeable loss of power and -2/3 MPG’s then the wildpeaks are the best option for performance and looks.

You can't beat Bilsteins, if that's the problem. In my experience tires make a difference. Falken Sincera A/S250 is an exceptional tire.

Blizzaks is what I have on. They are amazing

Had the Conti All Seasons last winter and was not real happy how they performed on ice/snow. Wife was slipping and sliding all over, especially in single digit temps. Took advantage of a Costco Bridgestone deal and got the Blizzak snow tires for about $700 after installation. Haven't had a chance to test them yet in the elements, but the ride is very quiet although a little more floaty/soft. Can't take the corners as fast as you would with the Conti's.

I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
