Tires Falken or Goodyear

Falken Tires

It's really surprising how much the ride feels more like a truck now. It must be the side walls, but it's definitely better over the rough stuff too.

Pros: better over rough terrain
Cons: ride feels like a truck

Goodyear Tires

I've had nothing but good experiences with Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs on our 3rd gen, 5th gen, and two trucks. Bonus that you can get them studded if you're running a dedicated winter setup or live in weather that requires it.

Pros: good experiences, can be studded

Goodyear Tires

Had them on my old Ranger and had zero issues on road and 2wd off road camping, and dirt biking. I even got 60k miles out of them (and they still looked pretty good). Very good bang for the buck.

Pros: zero issues, long life, good value
Vehicle: Ford Ranger
Mileage: 60000 km

These tires do not have the same level of grip that the Tempesta P1, RE-71RS, A052s, etc. have, so do not buy these thinking you'll be competitive, because you probably won't be.

Besides that, lets start with the good sides of this tire.

-Very consistent. They do not lose grip even as they get hot, nor do they lack a ton of grip when they're cold.

-Fantastic treadwear. These will definitely last you a couple seasons at the very least. They hold their grip well throughout the entirety of the tread range.

-Responds well to inputs. While these don't have the pure grip of a super 200 tire, they respond well to inputs and are eager to change direction when you need to.

Now lets get to the bad.

-VERY unpredictable. If you start hearing even slight tire squealing, you are right on the limit of grip. These tires snap out from under you easily if you're not careful or don't know the characteristics of these tires.

-Like I said before, these lack a lot of grip compared to the super 200s, but thats kinda something you should expect when buying these tires.

Overall, I'd give the RT615K+ a solid 7/10. They're not very competitive but they're a lot of fun, they're a great tire to learn on, they offer good value in the longevity department, but they're unpredictable compared to some other tires.

Pros: very consistent, fantastic treadwear, responds well to inputs, good value, great to learn on
Cons: lack grip, unpredictable, snap out easily, not competitive
Part number: RT615K+

I put Falken Ziex (65k) on a Honda Civic 10th Gen. didn’t even make it to 40k. Never again. Rotated every oil change (5k). I know the heat had something to do with it (Florida) but the streets here are smooth as butter.

Pros: smooth streets
Cons: did not last
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 64373 km
