So i need new tires, and i want it all: Good handling, traction, ride quality, tread wear, and no noise.....all for a next-to-nothing price.

I've been looking at a couple of different sets of cheap kumhos on tirerack.com. If i have to, i'd like to spend a little more and get a good all season tire, but i'm considering spending less and getting a strictly summer tire, then buying a pair of blizzaks for the winter. I need suggestions please......

 

I just got my Falken 512's in on friday and will have them install probally weds. I choose these tires due to the high ratings on all the categories and I got them shipped to me for $420. I am sure their are better tires out but not for the price range that I was look for. I think all in all I will save about $250 bucks just in the price of the OEM tires and these.

 

where did you get them from?

 

I ordered them from edgeracing.com I ordered them tues afternoon and was on my porch friday afternoon

 

You can also get them from tires.com

 

yeah, i checked them out. I'm thinking of getting the other falkens, the ones that are very similar (Falken GR Beta FK-451), except that they are Y rated instead of V.

The only problem i'm encountering now is that any major tire place around me will mount them, but won't offer a road hazard warranty on them.

 

No Discount Tire near by?

 

why? they did it for you?

 

Discount Tire always offer road hazzard. You have to pay extra for it but they'll replace it or fix it for free.

 

I just installed my 512 and they seem to ride better and as quiet as a max will get. I had mine installed at Just Tires and they offer road haz for 11 bucks each

 

i decided on the Falken GR Beta FK-451. Kost tire and muffler wants like $550 for the tires, mounting, balancing, disposal, an alignment, and road hazard plan, which is effective for the life of the tire.

It's more than i was planing on paying, but at least i'll have peace of mind.
