Orginally wanted the Toyos but they are on back order and offered me the Falkens. Opinions? I really do not need the snow traction but I heard bad treadlife stories on the falkens.....thanks

I've got the Falken Azenis ST-115's and so far they aren't wearing out like crazy like some ppl say but then again I have ony around 500 miles on them right now. I guess it depends on your driving habits when talking about wear rates.

I had 115s before. They are very sticky and quiet. Tread life could be better though.

I fully understnad the backorder ordeal. Mine were originally on backorder for two weeks, which became about four. I had to temporarily cancel the order due to losing our other car to an accident. We still do not have a second car, but I got impatient and reordered the Toyos. Fortunately I'm not in a big rush because I have good rubber on my stock 16's. When the Toyos come I'll be running 235/40's on 18" Murano rims. GL with the Falkens. I hear they stick like glue.

thanks all, the Falkens are in the mail.

I got over 40K with the stock RE92s, and thats with a few autoXs so I hope the tread wear will not be that bad.
