Tires Hankook or Falken

the falken Wildpeak AT3W’s added that extra touch. They’re quiet and have great traction.

I personally like Falken Wildpeak AT3s. Haven't got them on my XJ yet but they've done great for on and off-road driving. I've had them on a JK, Ranger, Sierra 1500, and my work van.

Wears like iron, just like the R-S3, but doesn't need as much heat to work. I can leave the sprayer at home and just ignore them.

Amazing dry grip from the first run. They do like to be warm, the second or third run has the most grip and then they fall off unless you spray. I'm in love with this tire, when it's on the car we are consistently within the top times of the day, if not fastest overall.

It'll be a huge leap over those junk Hankooks.

Been running them on my 2019 Atlas for for over a year. No issues, good tread life, and quiet.

You didn’t give wheel specs so i’ll say my setup: Falken Azenis 245,40,r15. absolute monsters, look amazing and grip for days

Get Hankooks or Firestones if you want to save a couple of bucks, while still having a great tire.

I have taken 3 tires to track events on my R: Dunlop ZII Star Specs, Bridgestone RE71R and Michelin PSS. I also ran version 1 Hankook RS3 tires on my BMW for both HPDE and autocross events. ZII Star Specs: excellent tread life (9-10 HPDE days @ ~2 hours track time/day), very good dry traction, good wet traction, wide temperature range RE71R: fair tread life (5 HPDE days), excellent dry traction, good wet traction, wide temperature range PSS: I used these for one event as a rain tire as my expectation is that they will not tolerate the sustained heat that a dry session will produce. Good dry traction, excellent wet traction, limited temperature range RS3: very good dry traction, unknown wet traction, limited temperature range; i.e.: they need lots of heat before they get sticky (craptastic for autoX) If I had to pick one tire for HPDE events, it would be the ZII's and that is what is currently on my car. Tires cost money and I value tread life over outright performance and the wear characteristics make the Dunlops about half the cost of the Bridgestones. If someone else is buying my tires, then I'll go with the RE71R's. For autocross use only in a street tire class, then the RE71R's, no question. i have not tried the BFG Rival or Rival S, but based on friends experiences I would expect them to be somewhat similar to the ZII and RE71R, respectively.

Falken Ziex 512s ( I don't think they are available anymore) are the most trash tires I've had. Terrible grip, terrible life.
