Little tire help needed
 
I need to get some new tires for my 02 coupe. The stock ones are 195/65R15's. I am thinking about getting these falkens. Is anyone running these or does anyone have good or bad words for Falken tires?

Otherwise I will just get the yoko avids.

I had those tires. They were great tires til I demolished them Autocrossing my car. But overall price and quality, they are a good buy!

I agree, very good all seasons. Pretty good snow traction/wet traction

Ordered yesterday from discounttiredirect.com, $48 a piece, free shipping and they will be here today. All the local places wanted $61 for them.

Hope they work out for you. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif I have had those in a 225/45/17 and hated them. That being said, I was comparing them to my previous set of Pirelli PZero Nero's. Here's how I would rate them...

7.5 Dry traction
9.0 Wet traction
7.0 Dry handling
8.0 Wet handling
Don't know about snow...

Other than that, I got very low life out of them with regular rotation. Around 14K miles vs 31K with the Pirelli's. My driving would be broken down like this...

80% Highway
15% City
5% Autocross style mountain runs

Well depends if your car is lowered? With or without camber kit, proper inflation?

Car IS lowered one inch. No camber kit needed. Alignment adjusted and checked regularly. The wear was normal, just quick. Never wasted rubber on burnouts.

I'll keep an eye on them, getting them put on tomorrow. Plus my wife drives the car 80% of the time so if they last 30k they are good in my book.
