I have the Falken 915 on my daily driver, a Lexus LS430 very comfy ride and much quiter and softer than the Bridgestone turanza they replaced. OE tire from Lexus with a 140 tread wear. The Falkens were more than double that and since I drive about 25k miles per year on my DD I went with the Falkens. As far as on my Porsche I have Bridgestone SO2s. I put about 11k on the rears and they are totally bald now, but the fronts are maybe at 50%. I did just order a new rear set of Bridgestone 050a pole position for $240 plus $45 for shipping it was a price I could not pass up for brand new set and they are not blems, seller was just blowing them out. The only draw back is they are wider than I was looking for at 275/35/18 vs the 265s that I wanted.
