What type of Falken are you looking at, and are these for your stock wheels or 17's? 18's?

I've used Falkens several times over the years and still consider them to be the best of the B-list tires. They are a great value but not up to the top A-list tires. I'd probably guess and slot them at or near the Kuhmos which seem to be another good value-tire.

If you can remember you bought them to save money, I don't think you'll be sorry. Wet performance will be better.

Let us know what you think.

Goodyear (Forgot)
Goodrich (Gforce T/A KD, KDW)
Michelin (Pilot Sport)
Pirelli (PZero)
