Does anyone have any experience with this tire at all. I am looking for something that is grippy for my volk wheels but want something that will also last pretty well. I also want to use them to auto x with occasionally.

I think vwong has these tires.

Try shooting him a PM.

 

I had a set of these on my Integra when I first got it. They're decent tires and provide good grip, but they seemed to wear pretty quickly if you really push hard (we had some great mountain driving behind my college so I was up there a lot and as a result, it wreaked havoc on my tires). I would examine a few other options first if you're looking for a tire with long wear and is good for the ocassional auto-x.

 

I would also like to keep the price to about 130 a tire (max price) in the size of 225/45/17 because I just spend a little more than 900 on my 19inch tires but that is what you get for buying the best rated tire Goodyear Eagle F1s.

 

I'm currently using BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires and they are pretty decent. I haven't tried an auto-x or anything of that nature yet, but for spirited driving, they have been excellent thus far. Plus, they have a 320 treadwear rating. There are several versions of this tire that all can be had for around $100 apiece.

 

is this the tire you are talking about

read some revies that said that they are noisey. are they noisey at all. also what ever I decide on it has to be by tomorrow by noon cause I need to get them mounted on the volks before the show next weekend as they are going to be part of my display.

 

They are noisy. Substantially more so than the all-season OEM Michelins. However, they really aren't any noisier than the GR-Betas were when they were on my Integra.

 

do you think they are better than your GR Beta's

 

It's hard to say because the two cars are so different. And it's been a long time since I've driven on a set of GR-Betas for a fair comparison.

 

dang such a big chore to pick tires in a basically the time span of 24 hours. serves me right for putting it off this long.

 

anyone else have a opinion on these two tires. I am leaning towards the Falkens cause they are cheaper at under 100 a piece and have never heard any complaints really about Falken.
