Tires Firestone or DUNLOP
I've driven about 200 miles on my new Weatherpeaks on my stock Subaru Outback. I was shocked with how good the tires performed in the downpour. On very wet roads with massive puddles, the Weatherpeaks felt like my old tires did on completely dry roads. Grip was fantastic. No slipping at all. Even when I hit really large puddles at speed I didn't hydroplane. The tires do feel slightly "softer" in the turns when its dry than the stock tires but they still feel great...and are a much smoother and quieter ride overall. Even on dry roads I feel like the car has better control.
Notably less road noise than the fire Stones I had before and pretty good grip. I'm happy with them.
I have dunlop mutants on my husaberg supermoto. I love them but the sides tear up pretty quickly under hard use. They're nice and sticky though!
I just wanted to share my opinion of the Dunlop Mutants after about 3000km of fixed use (highway touring, mountain twists, commuting, and fire/gravel/cottage roads in wet/dry/cold conditions. The tires are brilliant and my new favourite road tire.
But I’m a major fan of American elite 4’s. They came on the new bike and I’ve put 10k on them in the last 3 months and they haven’t aged a bit.
I have Winterforce UV2 tires for my SUV and they are great. Been through some crazy snow in them without issue.
Another set of tires I would recommend that is almost never mentioned is Firestone Destination A/Ts. It has always been my go to truck tire. Although I haven't put them on my Tacoma yet, they did great on our '01 Sierra, '05 Ranger, and my uncle's '16 Silverado.
They are ok tires. In the summer, when it's hot and dry, they do pretty ok. As soon as temps get close to freezing they get super hard and it's like driving on plastic rc tires. At least, that's been my experience with them.
Hated these Firestone’s on my e30. Got very noisy when older, grip was inferior to a even a 10mm smaller width fallen rt615.
Firestone tires are garbage that are loss leaders to lure people into their ripoff repairs.
