Default Tire Mfg Selection Help

Hi Guys,
I run 245 x 45 x 17's on GS 430 rims on my SC400 and my Yoki A520's are worn out. My tire shop has some Falken Zien's on sale right now for a sweet price. My objective is good value, not the most expensive tire.

Any experience with the Falken's out there? Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
James

There seems to be a majority of people that prefer the bridgestone S03 poleposition tires. I'm running Michelin Pilot Sports and really like them but they cost alot. Do a search on Falken tires. There have been some good and bad experiences. I wouldn't buy them based on price. Tires are not the place to skimp. Remember, they are the only part of the car that actually touches the road.

This should be posted in a the tires/wheels forum. Brandon (I think) is a Tire Rack rep that posts over there- you should ask him.

Smile Falken Azenis ST115

I installed Falken Azenis ST115 about a month ago on 17" BBS RSII wheels. Tire sizw 245/45/17.
I am happy with these tires. Z rated, quiet ride, rim protector, and a good price.
