Michellins rule, Falkens drool

[steve00s]

I replaced my Kumho's about a year and a half ago with the Falken RT-615's (225/255 17's) and they have been great. I have not driven on the PS2's so I cannot comment on them for comparison purposes. My first autocross last year with the new tires was on wet pavement and they were remarkable. Much superior to what I was driving on before. Next couple of events on dry pavement and I was hanging with the Hoosier crowd. For DE's, they were very good though got a little greasy towards the end of the sessions as they got hot. On the freeway and around town they provide a good ride and no amount of semi-normal street driving is going to get you in trouble because of the tires. I had the misfortune to get caught in the snow with them and was surprised that I actually had some amount of traction. Not the kind of tire you would want to go through a snowy, icy winter on but for a high performance tire they did an OK job. The best part about them is that they are cheap. I just put another set on for the upcoming season and they were less than $650 installed at Sears of all places.
