Default Replacement tires for 06 GS300..

Hi,

Has anyone experienced with Falken ST-115? I currently have Falken
ZE-512. I'm satisfied with the ride and wet performance. The tire
was quiet till 20K. Now, it is getting noiser on high way. I heard
the ST-115 is very quiet. What's the verdict? How does it compare
to ZE-512?

JM

My personal experience...
Falken, Nitto, Kumho... They are very nice when they are new... of course cheap, too!!
But, as threads start to wear out... they get very noise!!

I rather pay little extra in the begining and get someting with more consistant performance.... like Yokohama Advan, Continental Sportcontact, Michelin PS....

Btw, I'm selling a set of Yokohama ADVAN tires from GS300... want to buy it?

Thanks for the comments. I don't buy used tires simply because I prefer
the convenience of taking my car to the local shop for mounting the tires
and disposing the old tires.

20k miles are expected of any high performance low profile tire. The ST115's are pretty loud after just a few thousand miles, I wouldn't recommend them. If you're looking for a good quiet tire replacement in that range, look into the Falken FK452.
