Tires Falken or Nokia

Last Fall I asked for winter tire recommendations and ended up buying Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s for my 2021 KonaEV Preferred - many thanks for the advice - I was **very** happy with them through the winter.

I went a different direction and fit bigger tires on stock suspension. Looks like they are about 1" bigger in diameter and a little narrower. It was real tight in there so I wouldn't have gone any bigger than the 215/65/16s I ended up with (Falken Wildpeak AT, late model Audi rims) on factory setup.

The tires are very nice; comfortable and quiet, very good in all the conditions the Northeast brings.

Pulled the trigger on the Falken WILDPEAK A/T 255/55R19 much beefier tires. No way the Ms. can curb rash the rims now.

I’ve had Falken Pro G5 all-season tires on my Fit for a year now, and for the price, they are very impressive. They grip surprisingly well when taking corners, and they haven’t experienced any dry rot or cracking despite the hot weather here in Texas.

Ran the 660’s this weekend. Like the feel and the grip on my Camaro. They did well with a heavy car.

Anyways, I'll be looking to get the RT's after seeing how well they perform locally I was amazed by them

Ran the 660s for the 1st time today on my CAM SS 1LE. Small, tight course, but they felt great.

I think the 660's are the 'smart choice' being $200 cheaper and would probably last longer than the Yoks, specifically because of only 1.3\* camber and outside shoulder wear. I've also heard they don't heat cycle out like the RE's, which is a huge bonus IMO.

Car is terrible with stock Falken tires. It goes OK, but stops terrible. I was actually suprised when I took mine out for the first time in the snow. Slide down the hill.
