I just got rid of my Falken 512s. They were not good (loud, hard, wore out fast), but for that price pretty much nothing is. I ended up going with Kumho ASX's and I'm pretty happy with them. They have a 30k mile warranty and ride much better than the Falken 512s, are quieter, and offer just as much grip. I think they run around $110/tire.

Pros: ride much better, quieter, good grip (Kumho)
Cons: loud, hard, wore out fast (Falken)

YOKOHAMA Tires

I gave up on 512's, they stretched awesome but i found that s drives stretch almost as good and they come in 195/45/17. Plus they are a nice v tread and not an all season tire. Grip great compared to 512's.

Pros: Grip great, nice v tread
Cons: stretch almost as good

The car handles exceptionally well with them. The West Virginia turn pike is easily handled at 95mph. Downfall- tires need to be rotated sooner then normal and they always run thin way before their due date.

Pros: exceptional handling
Cons: thin, rotate sooner
Vehicle: Honda Civic

I have some decent Kumhos on mine (used to have Gislaved Nordfrost 5 on my MKIV, but they wore very quickly) and my Golf is perfectly fine in the snow.

Pros: perfectly fine in snow
Cons: wore very quickly

Got Kumho ECSTA 4X installed on my wagon almost 2 months ago. 235/40/18 95XL. They replaced the good year eagle GT's. About 2k miles on them now, they are quiet and softer riding then the good year, but doesn't grip as well on dry road. (i.e. with the good year, I could not get the front tires to spin from a dead stop even if I floor it, with the kumho, they spin for a fraction of a second before the 4motion kicks in) haven't had rain so don't know how they handle in wet. But they are definitely more comfortable than the good year.

Pros: quiet, softer riding
Cons: doesn't grip as well
Mileage: 2000 km

I had Kumho LE Sports on my 95 M3 and really liked them as a street tire. Quiet, good dry/wet traction, and the price was right. I'd buy them again.

Pros: quiet, good traction
Vehicle: BMW

I have 195/50R15 KU25s over 8" and compared to the same sized Falken ZE329, they don't look as good. The sidewall bulges out on the Kumhos.

Cons: sidewall bulges out

Anyone running Kumho Ecsta MX (ku15) from Tire Rack? I bought a set (225-45-17) for my Jetta and they are complete junk! They are so loud I sound like a garbage truck driving down the road. Upon stopping, the noise is even more unbearable. These tire corner like s--t!

Cons: loud, corner like s--t
