They're better than the Kumho STP's, right? Also, why do you suggest 235/40/18 over 225/40/18? I prefer to get 235's, just curious as to what your opinions are. TIA.

Default Interesting...
Lemieux had recommended the Kumho Ecsta SPT's, which are $6 cheaper per tire in 235/40/18 and get much better ratings across the board on tire rack. I'm curious who else has used these Kumho tires and what they think of them. Guess we'll just have to wait for Lemieux to wake up.

Default F the noise man, there's got to be an equal tire that's quieter...
Last thing I need on my car is truck tires.

Default From what I saw online at a discount tire store the Falken's are $20 more per tire...
or $80 per set. Are they worth the extra money?

Default i've heard too many stories about the sidewall seperating from the tread on the falkens to be
comfortable buying them.

that just happened to me, albeit on different tires.. im a bit jumpy about it now
