Default Kumho AST vs. Falken 512

Im looking for a new set of all seasons and these seem to be pretty cheap. Can anyone compare them directly through experience or what they have heard?

Both are just plain crappy. Also, the Falken ZE-512 is being discontinued and replaced by the ZE-912.

Any chance you could spend a few bucks more for the Kumho ASX? It's MUCH better than either one.

Here, look at prices (Kumho from Tire Rack, Falken from Vulcan Tire):

195/50-15:
Kumho AST $41
Kumho ASX NA
Falken ZE-512 $46
Falken ZE-912 $50

195/55-15:
Kumho AST NA
Kumho ASX $65
Falken ZE-512 $63
Falken ZE-912 $67

205/50-15:
Kumho AST $49
Kumho ASX $56
Falken ZE-512 $49
Falken ZE-912 $53
