FEDERAL,NEXEN,FALKEN

looking to buy tires for staggered setup:
245/35-20 and 275/30-20
federal 595 Evo
Nexen n3000
Falken fk452
what tires are members running,
which do u recommend.

i ended up going with the Hankook Ventus Evo V12s, i like the tread on these tires
and they grip the road real good, as far as road noise its very minimal i would recommend
any one to get these tires.......

I've had Flaken 452 and were great tires. Rode smooth and lasted a while. Out of the three, that's what I recommend.

The hankook ventus V12's is one of the best performance tires in the market, period. Although, as with any performance based tires. They won't do well in the rain and snow obviously.

Currently running Continental Extreme Contact DWS on my ride due to the weather in my part of the country.

Federal SS595's FTW. They even performed decently in the snow when almost bald. I made it to CT and back on those things in serious snow.

The SS595's weren't noisy but the Evo's have better performance than those right? If so then they're probably noisy.

Go with the SS595's! If the new wheels I bought didn't come with tires I would've bought another set of the Federal's, no doubt about it.
