I started to look for summer tire today so I called many places and Found a place that sells the Kumho 712. They also told me about Falcon that are about the same price and suppose to be better quality. Anybody ever heard about them?

i heard about FALKEN. it's ok though, but i dont know about FALCON. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Yeah! I just went to the store and I realized it was just a misunderstanding on the phone. I feel pretty stupid now.

I just bought the Falken ZIEX, I hope there good. They didn't cost alot (cheaper than the Kumho 712)

Falken Azenis are the SCCA Street Touring [street tires] tire of choice. Dirt cheap too.

You wont find a better rubber than falken for the price, the rubber is very sticky and has a decent tread ware rating. Good choice for you money david. two guys that work for me at my shop use falken and sware by them.<P>Killermx3

my suggestion... good tires but have you tried the yokohama pardas yet? these bitches stick like glue, even in the rain. plus they look bad a-- too. tirerack.com has them for like $109 us. their shipping is the bomb too. ordered one day and they were here the next.

They are a "ricer tire", because they look "cool" and are marketed to be high performance, but they are FAR from it. Never buy them. If you want Yokohamas, get A520s or AVS-i's...those are your good choices.

ive had many brands of tires, yokos, toyos, perrelli,cooper cobras(by far the worst manufacture ever), bf goodrich comps, and they all dont handle like they should unless its 75 degrees out, where do you live fl? the paradas channel that rain away pretty good, i wont be impressed with any tire company till someone finds a low profile 17 that works in snow and doesnt look like bigfoot.

And you have to warm up any decent tire before it gets sticky.
