Core vs Cyber wheels (and A/S vs A/T tires) for daily street driving

[xenotek]

Are there major differences in ride quality and/or handling for daily street driving (75% highway)? It rarely rains or gets below 40F year round here. I wanted to get the cyber wheels cause and AT tires bc I like how they look but might decide against it if wouldn’t be advised for regular highway driving. In the case it does rain, are the Goodyear wrangler territory AT tires safe at 70mph on the highway?

I think it really comes down to are you going to take it off-road regularly. If you’re not, go for efficiency. Important to be honest with yourself about what you’re actually going to be doing with it.
what does off-road mean? Beyond maintained gravel where which tire you use won’t matter whatsoever.
you can run either tire on either wheel and the cores are lighter unsprung too so if it’s about looks, why? If you’re a hubcap guy the look you get from the cyber wheels won’t be reproducible with the cores. That larger than the wheel look is not for everyone either but if you like it that’s the only way to get it I know of.

I originally wanted the AT tires and covers, but ended up going with the core wheels and removed the aero cover. I honestly like the look, and the core wheels/tires are quiet, efficient and great for 90% of my driving. I even took them off road in Colorado at the Rainbow Falls area, it was extremely fun. I purchased a second set of cyber wheels with the Duratrac winter tires. I love these for snow and offroading, but they are loud on the road and not efficient. The core wheels are great for just about everything.

I was worried about my core wheels and was planning on switching to winters during my first tire rotation, but i didnt and have been doing great in philadelphia during this recent snow here. mine have done quite well. I have my aero covers on still. both front fairings have been killed and both mudflaps have cracked but are still in ok condition due to snow banks though!

Yes I think they are overall pretty capable tires. I did the delete kit on the fairings.. they both just completely disappeared on my last offroading LOL
