Tires Pirelli or Falken

I have the same tires. On smaller aftermarket rims but they’ve been a great tire. I’ll get the same tires again this spring.

One of my stock tires finally decided to kick the bucket, so I replaced them with a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails. So far I like them, they’re the same size as the stock tires, but the handling is superb (especially in rain and on gravel). A little more road noise and a bit of reduction in gas mileage, but I’m cool with it.

I went with Wildpeak AT Trail because highway driving is my priority, with occasional drives on the beach and gentle Forest Service roads. I see a lot of soft-roading in this sub-reddit they can handle.

I got pirellis and it made a world of difference. Thicker side wall

I've only tried one set so far. Falken azenis RT 660+. So far they are awesome. They are almost too sticky tbh. There is a intersection i like to slide through and with these I have to really stay in throttle hard to get it going or small clutch kick helps.

Leased 2024 PHEV top of the line for about $55k now with 30k miles…only issue was the Falken tires are shit and you’ll be replacing them early especially with a heavy battery in your vehicle. I paid $1,800 for Pirelli tires to replace them and they are amazing!

I’m at 42,000 miles on two of my factory Pirellis with no issues (2024 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy from May 2024). The other two are about 20-ish,000 miles.

The current AS3 Pirelli? I'd say it's better than the AS4, which honestly wasn't great in the rain for me. I prefer PS4s to the AS4 for rain. Honestly, my Hankook RS4 aren't any worse than the AS4 in rain.

I’ve replaced at least 7 Pirelli’s in 4 years on my 540. They bubble at the slightest hit. Some of them bubbled after two weeks. I know the roads are not the greatest here in Long Island, but come on. Never again.

I put a set of Falken Ziex 512s on my old Civic and it is the one set of tires I've ever returned under a manufacturer's customer satisfaction warranty. Terrible and made the car feel like a Buick or Ford Econoline where you could saw the wheel back and forth and it would just go straight.
