Falken Azenis ST115 vs. Nankang NS-1 vs Kumho or whatever else you guys have

Anyone know anything about these tires? Any information would be great, I found them in a 235/45/17 for $101 a tire, which isn't bad, I am trying to decide between these and the Nankang NS-1 which is $92 a tire.
Thanks in advance

Kuhmo, Kuhmo, Kuhmo!!!!
Or if you want the best and have the flow to back it up, Get some Michelin Pilot MXX3 for $235/tire.

It's just that the Kumhos have a 280 treadwear and wore out on my car in 7 months, the falkens and the nankangs have a 360 treadwear, I am trying to stear clear of kumhos but if that is what everyone says I guess I will have to get them again

get the other kuhmo's

the kuhmo with 280 treadwear is the z-rated tire I think. See if they have the v-rated version in your size, and I believe the treadwear is 340. That is what I have, still handles good and I can't go over 149 anyway.
