Kumho or Falkens
Hi guys,
I'm looking to get new tires for the spring, and i dont have a lot of cash right now so im looking for a cheap way out. Im looking at the Kumho Ecsta 711's for $54 off tirerack and the Falken Falken Azenis St115 for $76 and the Falken Ziex Ze 512 for $77. Ive searched the forums and im leaning towards the Falkens, but i just wanted a final verdict from you guys, or any other suggestions for the best tires for the price. Thanks a lot! |
where are you finding those prices for the falkens? what size?
i've been happy with my ST115's, i am about to buy my second set. A lot of people have been having issues with falken though - FK451's spontaneously combusting and the ZE512's having bubbles in the sidewall. I have not heard anything bad about the ST115's, nor have I had any negative experiences with them. This may just be due to the fact that not that many people have them. Nevertheless, I will be getting another set in the coming weeks.

well judging by my experience with Falkens Id go Kumho of those 2...
but how bout neither?
|
EdgeRacing.com....Are the st115's an somewhat of an all season tire like the ze512's?
|
well don't cheap out on tires, seeing as they are the only part of your car..
that makes contact with the pavement, I'd say spend that few extra and do yourself a favor
|
nope, keep them away from the snow. they're decent in the wet and dry though
|
st115s are a summer tire. I have them on my 2.8. They are nice and quiet
|
Anybody else have any experience or info on the downsides of the ze512's?
|
"Alabama All Seasons"
thats the term he was looking for.
|
do a search, lots of people have had bubbles and balancing issues with the ZE512s
i've had 2 sets on other cars, one that worked flawlessly and another that had a bubble.
