Falken WildPeak H/T02 

Took these bad boys to the track as well as 30000 miles on the street. Still has good tread depth in the center, but the shoulders are going out due to factor camber specs (-1.5 in the rear)
Honestly, these tires grip alright, but they are very predictable. I've been able to do decent speeds on the highway during heavy rains whilst still maintaining traction as well . Great tire for the hydroplaning resistance IMO. Never had an issue with wet launching the car as well at factory power, but I wet cornering is definitely scary. A lot of understeer if you're not watching the conditions.
Dry traction on the track is great. Put down respectable times on stock rubber and the tires were very predictable. Spirited canyon runs, never had an issue, and was able to always correct if I cooked a turn.
Daily driving, the tires are great comfort wise. STI's are known for stiff suspension, but I rode these tires from Cali to Texas and back. Really comfortable.
My only derogatory mark against these tires is the fact that they are SUPER noisy. I can hear everything on the road, but otherwise this is a great tire for daily driving with the occasional spirited drive. Just wish the wear pattern wasn't so bad with my stock suspension setup. Could have gotten a lot more miles out of them.

I was looking for a summer tyre that could provide great traction in cornering, accelerating and breaking to replace the OEM tires I had.
After lots of investigation on websites, forums and dealers I decided on sport maxx based on the tirerack comparison test.

Well I was immediately impressed by the dunlops as they survived many breakfast runs and track days resulting in many entertaining miles.

I highly recommend them especially due to its traction and cornering capability.

This tire came stock on my 2018 WRX. I don't do much average driving, most is "spirited" and these tires took the challenge well. I can easily go through tires in 10,000 miles and these tires have just now hit warning strips at close to 13K. Cornering is alike most high performance tires I've owned and honestly parallels that of some track tires.

Most importantly however, I did run these tires all season because I did not feel like replacing them just for winter. They are a little wild to get used to in the heavy snow and you are forced to drive fairly slow. In slushy conditions and lighter snow I did not have many problems.

Best OEM tire ever! While there are stickier tires out there, and I've driven them, this blends good road manners, quiet operation and performance really well. If you want a tire that is part touring and part track inspired, this is a great option. It's easy to place the car precisely in corners, steer with precision, and push the limits, yet it absorbs much of the road's irregular surfaces and makes for a comfortable every day ride. Which is saying something because the 2015 WRX has a pretty stiff suspension - this tire helps mellow that a bit. Tire is predictable and inspires confidence. As noted, if you want more performance, look to Dunlop's extreme performance like the Zii or in this category, the Michelin Pilot, but if you want a blend of comfort, quiet operation, with a very capable tire, this is a great option. Highly recommended, unless max grip is your first priority.

Pros: This tire has EXCELLENT treadwear, great grip, and laudable cold weather/wet weather performance. It's a great all-arounder and a good choice for OEM for the WRX. You can live with these in most conditions year round. Great tires at 7/10ths of the car.

Cons: Push them too hard (on track or autocross) and you WILL shear off tread blocks. I would not recommend these for Motorsport. They're only OKAY in snow...for the price get a dedicated set of snow tires and wheels if you see more than 12" of snow a year. Go with a higher performance track tire if you run more than one even a year.

My driving is mixed. I live on the Delaware River between Bucks county, PA and Hunterdon county, NJ. This area has some great twisties to offer, which I will occasionally cut loose on. However, most of my miles are spent commuting on Hunterdon county, NJ spur roads at about 55mph with no turns and on road trips, which are a mix of super slab and old rural routes. These tires started off relatively loud and only get louder as they wear. Grip is good, but not amazing in pretty much all conditions except heavy rain, when they will hydroplane pretty easily. The real selling point is tread life. I've got 32,000 miles on them so far and I'm about 2/3s of the way to the wear bars. So they have another 10,000 - 15,000 miles left in them. For a tire in this performance category, that is excellent treadwear. Tire rotation done every 5,000 miles. Wear pattern is even and consistent.

OEM tire which performed very well for me but was rotated often and pressure checked weekly. Outstanding dry traction and wet for a max summer tire. Quiet even when breaking traction (no barking, squeeling or chirping under duress). Road noise much more pronounced after they hit 20k+ miles. I was very happy to get 30k+ out of mine and found the treadwear to be more than ample this type of performance. I strongly suspect those giving feedback on poor treadwear were "unforgiving" versus "spirited" in driving style.
