Kumho KH11 or Falken 512?
I have narrowed my choices down to these 2 tires. What do you guys think I should go with? It seems Falkens are sold out on most websites. It seems these 2 tires are the best bang for the buck.

I was in the same situation as you, i went with the 512s. I'm very pleased with them, but I havn't ever used the kh11s, alot of people cautioned me about the asymetric tread.

They have pretty good service, I usually get my tires in 3-4 business days and shipping is free.

IIRC, the Falken are an all-season, and the Kuhmos are summer.

I've got Falken S/T Z01s on the way, myself ... decided I'd give up the V rating for an H rating, and a 50000 treadwear warranty ... I'll have 30 days to decide if I like them.

Oh, and vulcantire.com seems to have the cheapest prices on Falkens, but some places (NTB) will match.
