Tires Falken or Kumho

I’ve been using RT660’s for the past 3 years and they’re fantastic. Though they’re the only summer tires I’ve bought so I don’t have much reference. But they handle great, especially after getting heat into it, and of course it depends on the car but it made a night and day difference in terms of confidence with my car.

I have only had Falken Azeni 660rts, but they've been great. I did a full season of codriving on my 205/50r15s last year and they still have a lot of life in them.

Falken azenis fk 460 all seasons were $200 for a 235/35 19. Awesome tires.

V730 are perfect. The wear like iron, are very predictable and most important for a track day tire- don’t have heat cycling issues.

I put Falken RT660s on my STI. The grip level is amazing but a heavy, AWD car can be hard on these tires unless you are set up with the appropriate amount of camber.

For me, Falken/Sumitomo has been the perfect balance between value and performance

My Falken tires are extremely affordable and they grip better than my Pirellis in every real-world situation that I’ve needed the grip.

I’ve had good luck with “value” level Kumhos and Generals. Currently I drive a used BMW with over 300hp that came with budget Kumhos. They were brand new so I kept them. When they wore out I replaced them with expensive Continentals. I absolutely noticed the difference in quality

Lol...same story here. I realized I've bought and mounted AT3WA instead of AT3W only few weeks later, as I could not believe those on pictures looked so different. These DOT aprovals for Europe are needed and US based tire companies simply do not apply for those since they have large enough market in US and Down under.

Honestly I was quite satisfied with AT3WA on road, wet and snowy, but they look so sissy I got rid of them.

My falken ziex came with my car from the dealership and have 15.5k miles on them. When i checked the tread last week, they were 4/32 in the front and 5/32 in the back. This seems like really excessive wear.
