Re: are falken tires any good??
I have the Falken ziex 115 i believe on my 18" Antera 309's. They are all season and have a nice tread. For everyday use, I think their great. Im not into track use at all. They also have very strong sidewalls b/c living in NYC I ran over like 3 DEEP pothole and put a few very small dents into the rims. The Falken tires did not even bubble, which surprised me. I had Nitto tires back a while ago and they used to bubble even if i hit a little bump.
vulcantires.com has them the cheapest.

Yes
I had the GRB 451's on my other car. Great summer tire. Where do you live? I just bought some Pirelli P-Zero Nero M/S. They have a tread wear rating of 40,000.

Ugh, sidewall bubbles are the suck, Nitto & Pirelli apparently. Falkens tested well in CR, FWIW.
Actually their top rated tire. Dunlop A2s, Michelin XGT were rated well for all-seasons. Conti Extreme did not make the test, too new. SP5000 comes for 17's but not 16s.
