I retired today.......re-tired

I finally removed my bald EL-42s and put them out of their misery......I am enjoying my Nittos very much and would assume they are comparable with the Falkens in every respect. I have not noticed any road noise above the level of what the Bridgestones had.

Take a look at my pics.......
I went from this ................




To this..........






I also had them balanced with Road Force and a Hunter GSP-9700. I can really feel them diggin in on hard curves......

I recommend these to anyone shopping for tires!

Hate to burst your bubble. I've had both the Falken and the Nitto and the Falken is a far superior tire in every way except maybe treadlife.

I think the Falkens may be a little softer, I didn,t go with them for all of the noise complaints and quality control issues.
