Tire Question after 8,000 miles or so...

This thread is for individuals who have put new tires on their car (e.g. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, Falken 512's, Toyo Proxes and so forth) after replacing the EL-42's.

If you have reached above 8,000 miles or so, could you please write a review as to how the tires are doing now? Initially, no matter what tire we all get, it's going to be better than the EL-42...However, I am concerned about the tire after it has had a good amount of miles on it...

I know that a few days back, neuronbob had mentioned something regarding his Falkens and that they are starting to make a little more noise....I am interested in information like that...How is the ride quality? Any significant change in the noise?
Flat spotting? Tread quality?

Please let us know your experiences....Thank you...

I think you are referring to neuronbob in this post

after 4,000 miles on the Falken 512s, they are still very good.
i noticed that you are from NJ. with all the rain/snow from yesterday
and today, the tires performed very well. no flat spotting either.
the HPTs that i had originally had major flat spotting.

i think the Falkens are well worth the $100/tire price.
compared to the other tires which cost more.
