Tires Falken or OEM Subaru

Just finished a canyon run on new Falken RT615K+ Auto-X/ street tires on OEM Austins. Cons are a harsher ride and low life-expectancy that comes with 200TW tires. Pro's are sharpened steering and tread noise that actually is not all that bad. And once they warm up they're absolutely tenacious, with more grip than one will ever need on the street and a progressive break-away at the limit.

I almost bought a set of those federals last summer, until I heard multiple stories of tread separation. Ended up going with Falken 950 ziex. Fairly cheap, and I have no complaints about them.

Similar van (VW Routan) and I went with Falken Pro G4 A/S @ $108 each at Discount Tire. Nice, quiet and surprisingly better than the OEM Michelin tires that were on there.

Nope, you don't need to change all four. I had a similar problem on my Subaru Legacy years ago, and I simply bought one new tire and then took it to a local race shop and had them shave the new tire to the same depths of the old one.

i personally loved my falken eurowinters tires...... incredible grip , very quiet and believe speed rating was up there as well

I ran Falkens on my old A4. They did everything I asked of them (wet, dry, power slides ), for not much money

So the deal surprised me. I got 5 wheels and 2 with bent lip and 3 brand new 245 40 17 falken azenis pt722. So as I drove back stopped by Passaic county tire in psrerson Nj and got the tires dismounted and sold them the tires for $50.

I got falken tires made in Thailand on my tahoe and some tires mad in Czech Republic on my mini cooper.

Just put a set of 329s on my A4 and already feel a huge improvement in the ride quality.

Had Falken Ziex Ze-912... won't buy them again.
