Tires Falken or Vredestein

I’ve been using RT660’s for the past 3 years and they’re fantastic. Though they’re the only summer tires I’ve bought so I don’t have much reference. But they handle great, especially after getting heat into it, and of course it depends on the car but it made a night and day difference in terms of confidence with my car.

I have only had Falken Azeni 660rts, but they've been great. I did a full season of codriving on my 205/50r15s last year and they still have a lot of life in them.

Falken azenis fk 460 all seasons were $200 for a 235/35 19. Awesome tires.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro lasted longest of them brand you consider.

I love the Vredestein’s. It’s definitely a “softer” tire but the grip level in both dry and snow is incredible. You will not be disappointed

I have the vredestiens on my Cadillac CTS, they are great tires. Quiet, great in the rain/snow/icy roads, I've got about 20k on them right now and still over half treadwear left on them. They also have some great dry road performance, very grippy.

I put Falken RT660s on my STI. The grip level is amazing but a heavy, AWD car can be hard on these tires unless you are set up with the appropriate amount of camber.

For me, Falken/Sumitomo has been the perfect balance between value and performance

Ages ago my boss put Falken on the company van. They lasted about 20,000 miles

2nd Gen not 5th but I replaced the ancient tires on my 4runner with wildpeaks and had them on for a few years. Hated them. Hated driving curves in the rain on pavement. Roundabouts would lose traction even in summer and as you know, these are NOT cars with a fast takeoff. They were quiet, I'll give them that.
