Yokohoma S-Drive vs. Falken 452 vs. Kumho Ecsta SPT
Yokohomas-$126
Falkens-$115
Kumhos-$98
All have gotten great reviews online, and the Kumhos beat the Yokohomas in a tirerack.com test.
I'm looking to put these on my 08 TL-S. I live in SoCal so snow/ice isn't an issue. Which one would be the best?

i've got the Kumhos ECSTA ASX tires on my '04 TL...had them put on in january 2007 and as of right now are down to a wear level of 2.5 (out of 5 i think)...they had great grip for a while, but did lose their tread fairly fast...

08 TL Type S A-Spec
If you go to a P245/45/17 size, there is a Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval tire that ranks #3 overall on www.tirerack.com and gets excellent reviews. $129 each.
The Bridgestone Potenza RE750 is on closeout, $128 each. The Potenzas rank #4 overall.
But........The General Exclaim UHP still ranks #1. The reviews from TL owners on tirerack are all very high for this tire. These are SUMMER tires that also perform well in wet weather. These price out at $86 each.

08 TL Type S A-Spec
I am leaning towards a P245/40/17 for my next tire. I think the extra width and smaller sidewall will help in handling. The P245/45/17 will work, too. I think that will give a "better" road ride........tough decision........I don't want my Type S to ride too rough.
So you are going with the Falkens 452's? That tire looks great. It is a tough decision on tire brand, but any of the above tires will dramatically improve handling. Good Luck!!
Post some pics of the new tires once you get them!
