Default 235/40/18 Kumho MX vs Falken GRB 451...what would you choose?

track or autoX possible, but unlikely. With that said, maybe something cheaper like the ST115's I have now. I like the low noise and nice wet performance of the ST115's.

Default Never had the Kumho, but I like the Falken: excellent wet and dry traction

A bit on the loud side though.

Default MX

Of the three tires, I've only owned the ST-115. I can't speak from experience, but a lot of people around here (Denver) that I respect a lot when it comes to performance driving LOVE the MX.
Just my two cents.

bang-for-the-buck, the MX should be good. not sure about its noise levels though.
