Tire comparison
Falken has a tire for $97 while Yokahama has one for $160.
They both have similar tire warranties. Is Yokahama worth the extra cost ? Thanks, Andy |

Performance tire or normal driving? Will you use the tires abilities? Does your vehicle NEED those tires abilities? -- Steve W. |

Also, what are the speed ratings for each. Is one tire a "T"
rated while the other a "H"-rated? |

I found some poor reviews about Falken mileage warranty and wet weather performance. Yokahama has been around for 98 years. I have 2 Falken tires with 18,000 miles.(with a 65K warranty) I checked the tire tread depth and it is about 4/32. It looks like those tires won't even come close to lasting 65k miles. I will go with the Yokohama YK580 tires. Andy |

AMuzi:
I already know that. I was just explaining how speed ratings could affect cost. |

Yes, but how do they ride? If you get softer tires, they will wear faster, but they might handle better too. Which one is more important to you? --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

I would prefer better mileage even if the ride is not as soft. Andy |
