Tires Falken or GT Radial

Falken Tires

I switched to Falken wild peaks 2 winters ago and have been very pleased in all conditions. I'm up north, tons of snow and ice. Plenty of mud in spring.

Pros: very pleased, good in all conditions, good in snow, good on ice, good in mud

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

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 have these on my car. I like how it performs in dry and slightly wet or snowy conditions. When it comes to water puddles or heavy rain, this thing hydroplane like crazy.

Pros: performs in dry conditions
Cons: hydroplane like crazy
