Default New tire choices available at Achtuning

The popular Falken ST-115 has been discontinued by Falken, in its place we are now offering the Falken FK-452 as well as bringing back an old favorite, the Yokohama AVS Sport and Yokohamas new king of the hill, the brand new Advan Sport.
Our Yokohama pricing is very competitive, our 18" tire packages are priced around $100 less than TR and 19" packages are around $150 less. All packages
are mounted and balanced free of charge.

Falken FK-452:

The Falken 452 is a brand new tire from Falken, a cross between the old FK-451 and the ST-115 it offers a 300 treadwear rating, "AA" traction and "A" temperature ratings. This tire is perfect for those looking for good wet and dry traction with low road noise. The FK-452 is our best bang for the buck tire.

Yokohama AVS Sport:

The AVS Sport is a classic Yokohama design that emphasizes dry traction performance but is still a good performer in mild rain. It is a comfortable tire with good response and low noise levels. This tire has a 180 treadwear rating with "AA" traction and "A" temperature ratings.

Yokohama Advan Sport:

The new Advan Sport from Yokohama is the flagship of their new Advan line of tires. This tire is original equipment on the Bentley Continental GT which is a heavy very fast luxury sedan (sounds a lot like your Audi parked outside doesn't it?) The Advan Sport has an asymmetric tread pattern which gives it fantastic dry and wet traction with great comfort and response with low road noise. Treadwear is 180 with "AA" traction and "A" treadwear.

Wheel and tire packages via UPS ground are typically $90-120 for west coast and $130-$190 for east coast. You will be quoted the actual shipping costs for your order before your card is charged and the order filled, thank you!

Why was this tire discontinued? It's a favorite around here. I just bought another set.

You'd have to ask Falken, the new 452 looks to be even better though!

Default It may not have been discontinued. Go to the Falken Tire website...>>>

The 115 tire is still on the factory website. And it is the latest version of the site.
