Even feels like my braking distance is shorter ( that could be just me ). But you guys are right, Falkens are good bang for the buck. I believe I got the last 4 from Vulcan couple of weeks ago. Just in time for the Bay Area rain... Althought I had about 30k on the OE ones, not too bad, seeing what others are getting on their OEs...

I have a set on order and should be receiving them shortly. I would like to hear from Allroad owners who have them: 1) how many miles you typically get from a set and 2) what sort of driving you do (lots of city, highway, etc.) Since this is a soft tire, I am curious what kind of tire life I can expect. Thanks in advance.

Default NY to NJ daily... (plus a limerock track day when new)

I got almost 25K out of them and have to replace the rears due to an allignment issue. The fronts even with 30K still have alot of life left to them.

Default Just changed to a set of W rated 512s as well.

Much improved cornering and wet grip. Can't wait to try them out ice fishing in Maine.
