Which one would you choose for 235/40/18?

Kumho SPT
or
Falken FK452 ?

 

spt just kuz fk452 bad grip

 

i heard fk452's are supposed to be really good..

 

Ppl online say 452 are pretty good.. but my friend has it on his TL-S and it really REALLY noisy when it cold, once it warmed up, it becomes pretty sticky

Im running SPT at the moment, just wondering if there are other cheaper alternatives with similar performance than the SPT (about 160$ each)

 

I've never had a set myself but 2 friends had Falkens and liked them but they wore out ridiculously quick. I've heard lots of good things about Kuhmos so they would be my choice out of your 2. Personally I would look at Hankook Ventus V12 Evo (ones I'm getting) or Dunlop Direzza Z1. Top 2 rated tires by Car and Driver recently. Heres the article, may help you with your decision.

FK452s.

 

Discount tires are selling for the following price:
235/40/18
GT Exclaim UHP - 652
V12 Evo K110 - 720
FK452 - 724
Z1 Star Spec - 872


Can only find Kumho SPT on Tirerack @ 763

 

Hankooks V12 EVO are a good bet, they have a rebate on them now actually, kinda makes me wanna kick myself. I went with the Sumitomo HTR III just due to price and fairly good reviews personally.

 

Havent driven with either tire specifically, but what i can say is Kumho has never let me down. No matter what tire I have driven with in the past. Each was pretty good. Falken. lol my experience with 512 back in the day makes me not want to touch the brand. I am sure the 452's are a good tire, but I didnt have a good experience with Falkens in General. maybe just luck of the draw for me.

 

The 452s are a very good tire, I even know one person that tracked them to much success.

 

I can recommend the Evos, as well. They also weigh substantially less than the Star Specs as a bonus.

 

get the falken azenis rt 615.

you wont regret it.

 

Those are being replaced, the new version is the RT 615K which aren't cheap. For the price of the 615K you can get Star Specs, XS, RE11s, etc.

 

My friend actually has this on his TL-S, but they REALLY noisy when its cold ... so i might leaning towards SPT or Evo

Star Spec and 615 are too expensive

 

I'm either going for the Mich PS2 or the Star Specs
