Kumho Ecsta's or Falken ZE512's?

[Quinton]

I'm looking to buy one of these sets of tires tomorrow or very soon.
Which set would you choose and why?
I'm either going with 235's or 255/45's.
Thanks for the quick responses!

I'd also check out these Yokohama ES100's. I love em. Excellent handling, but slightly noisy.

Dude....why would you even consider a Chinese tire?

Your choices are BFG, Goodyear etc.

Dunlop makes a killer tire as well.

Stay away from the Chinese tires.....if you value your job.

Mine only lasted ~20K miles. I have General Exclaim UHPs now, and so far after about 3K miles I like them and would buy another set. I had Falken ZIEX-502 (predecessor to the 512). They lasted ~25K miles and were extremely noisey after about 10K miles.

Kumho is Korean and Falken is Japanese.

The same difference. We need Korean tires here like a hole in the head. Buy USA made tires and maybe save your own job!

LOL
I can't get the es100's because I need an all season tire.

I'm not getting into the whole buy american debate because a good percentage of "imports" are now made in america and I bet most of the clothes I wear were made in sweatshops.

Dude....just buy the USA tires and be able to sleep at night!
