Need New tires...Kuhmo SPT or Falken 452?
Just curious how the two tires compare? Coming from the ST115 I'm looking for something slightly more aggressive but yet still comfortable and low noise. I really liked the Falkens and i'm very impressed with the wear...etc.
Any feedback would be great!

The Kumho's are quit stiff, great feeling tire. I can't comment on the Falken's sidewalls...
cuz I really don't know. I will tell you one thing that's for sure....I will be buying the SPT's again when these ones wear out. For the money they are great. According to my FATS, I am running roughly 360 chp and I have a HARD time breaking the tires loose from a dig. Very good traction. The clutch usually slips before I can break them loose. Not so with my winter tires. 
Oh BTW, this set is going on it's 3rd season, which will probably be it's last.

One last thing I'll say about these tires...
They have ZERO traction in the snow! I mean ZERO! I was coming out of my driveway to have some winter tires put on after a freak snowstorm that began the winter season around here. Well I was going maybe 2 or 3 miles an hour and slide ride across the road and into the ditch (I live in the country). LOL

Please comment further?
Do you mean they need to be heated up? What do you consider cool weather? Can you comment on them in general as I was planning on purchasing these for my next set of summers. I've been very happy with the Falken ST-115's but wanted a bit more grip.

Ditto...I'm coming from ST115's and I've really enjoyed them...
They only downsides to the tire are they have a relatively soft sidewall and they could be a bit more sticky. From what I've read the FK452's are better in all categories so I should be pretty happy.
I went ahead and ordered a set of 452's from discount tire before the sale ended and I hope they are shipped soon. Then i'll be able to compare the two.
