Default Great new tires.

Just wanted to let you all know.

I bought a set of Faulken tires for my LS400.
I got the Xiex 512's and they kick butt. I wasn't really very happy with the Toyo Proxes H4's that I was using. These tires are way better, they corner awesome on wet or dry pavement.
I had them on the Freeway during a heavy rainstorm, there was alot of standing water because of the ruts, and they never hydroplaned once. (which was not the case with the Toyo's)
I haven't had to test the braking yet. but the tires also have a really cool tread pattern that looks sharp with nice rims.
I checked them out because they just got the number one rating in consumer reports magazine.
Best of all, they were only $65 per tire.

no, I don't work for Faulken

Had the 502's on another car...they were a mediocre tire but it was a great price. Keep us posted on how your 512's wear.
