Default tire question?

I read alot of post in this forum about good tires and cheap ones, and I narrow it down to those two:
1- Falken ziex 512
2- falken Azenis ST115's
I would like to know what's the difference in the two, and which one will give me a more confortable ride. I want confort more than racing performance.

Why do you need allseason in Florida? Buy summer Avon Tech - it is just 100$ more for a set of 4.

Default Falken 512's although Z rated and cheap ($91.00)...

are still all season high performance tires. There are trade offs for the all season rating.. depending on how you drive.. this may be a factor.. it may not. Have you looked at true Singl Season Tires? (summers) If I lived in FL, this is what I would do.

Default I have those on my AR and love them....

But again, if you leave in Florida you should be able to get summer tires and be fine....

Default Re: tire question?

For what it's worth, my service manager says that allroads are extremely sensitive to changes in tire circumference. The Michelin Pilot Sport is the only high performance tire that fits. Most others are likely to cause problems with ABS and air suspension. I've had the Pilot Sports on mine for 30,000 miles and love them, ready for a fresh set. But, they're not cheap.
Has anyone else heard about the circumference issue?
