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

What vehicle?
How do you drive it?
Performance tire or normal driving?
Will you use the tires abilities?
Does your vehicle NEED those tires abilities?

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

T is for most regular drivers, H is almost a V, probably
costs like one too:

Can't compare without knowing the specs.

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.

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?

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