Im trying to decide whether i should get
1)Falken 512
2)Toyo tpt
3)Hancook hri

Hancook is the cheapest from the rest, but im not sure if i trust the quality.
Falken have been good to me, but im thinking Toyo's would be better.
Although Toyo is the most expensive they also have the most thread 65,000 miles which is more then half of the others. I went to 1010tires and read the reviews and all these tires are basically getting the same reviews. Any opinions? Oh and these will be going on 03gle rims and Toyo actually has the exact stock size while with falken and hancook i would run 225/50/17.

Any suggestions?

 

there are a lot of people w/ both Toyos and Falkens and they are happy w/ them. Can't go wrong w/ either.

 

Thats cool, i like Falkens but i think it would be worth paying the extra 25bucks per tire to get Toyo's since
1)They last 60,000-65,000 miles compared to Falken 30,000
2)They offer a warranty of 500miles if you dont like the tire you can return it which is cool.
3)Toyo has a tire for stock 03 gle wheels, while falken has stock SE size.

 

I had the Falkens in the 225/50R17 size. Spend the extra $25 bucks. For starters, the feedback the 512s gave was none existent. Even if you were to like the feel of the 512s, only in Falken's wet dreams the 512s will last 30K miles. In the 3300 miles I drove on them, I wore 1/32 off the original 10/32s. If you do the math, to wear them down to 2-3/32s, the 512s would only last 20K-25K miles max.

 

I don't know how you drive your car but I was able to squeeze more than 40k on my first set.

 

Consider the Yokohama Avid H4S as well.

Why does everyone bother with the Falkens? From what I gather, they are simply a cheapskates alternative. They don't last. They have a soft sidewall, etc. etc.

Isn't it like putting 87 octane in your Max?

 

Mixed/city driving, mostly stop and go. I'm sure I could have squeezed 40K if all I did was steady-state driving, but in my world that's not possible. I say spend the extra $25 and get something better.
