Default Falken st115... nice!!

Wanted to know if anyone had any ideas on this tire?? Threw a set on my sc300 and these things a re sweet... I am really impressed with their wet grip and quiet ride.... $130 per/tire in 245/40/18 didn't hurt either

I am in CT. and we have been bombed with rain... I am wipping my Sc around trying to see when these things will loose grip,... its a very "safe" feeling... S0-3 great trie.. outa my prcie range..
I did hear that the 260 treadwear is not "real"... these tires supposedly will wear faster than expected..

Little brother is just about to install a staggered set of 19's on his GS. From the info he sent me to check on these wheels they sound really good and the price is incredible. The Toyo T1-S that I had put on the same wheels only last 2 summers.

I really wanted to try these out, since I liked my fk451 Falkens so much, but they do not have a 275/30-20 fittiment

Glad you like them, my old Falkens were quiet as well

I think a lot of people here are Michelin Pilot Sport or A/S but the only problem is cost.....

I ran Michelins and Toyos for years on everything from my Saleen mustang to my Audi s4...
The Falken Azenis st115 can hang with the best and have to be the quietest performance tire
out .... bar none... I hope Tire Rack gets these on board since they are a top notch operation
and I would like to get all my packages through them.
I do notice that most on here love to run the Pilots, Ts1's and S03's but they should really get a "grip"...
No pun intended....lol

I have the ST115's on my Gs in 245/35/20 fitment all around, awesome tires, super quieit, very smoot ride, and awesome in wet weather, you really have to try to rip the tires loose around turns.

Also, the price is unbelievable, 100 dollars cheaper than any other 20 iinch tire

I have them 245/40-18 Front and 275/35-18 rear. Grippy and quiet value. What's not to like? We'll see on the wear rating...enjoy!

It's true that Pilot Sport A/S's are pricey tires, but there's no question about it when it comes to getting what you pay for.

I'm running 245/25/19 front and 275/30/19s Rear and put about 40K miles in almost 2 years. Very quiet , cool looking tread pattern, and grippy, I can only lose traction if I want to get the GS sideways in an intersection. Well that's another story.

My one rub is that they look kind of narrow and thin for their size. I was thinking about going with 285 for my next set.
