Default Simple: Which tire?

I live in NJ about 35mins outside NY. Some roads are great some are horrible and I do drive into the city a few times a month.

I've had the Nitto's before on a GSR, Si and Jetta VR6. They've been great for me in rain and snow and nice enough tires to enjoy in good weather.

I saw the Falken's though and they look nice but the reviews don't seem to great on them.

Just looking for other opinions.

Oh and the Falken's would be much nicer for hardparking.

Neither. You can get the Kumho SPT for the same money and it's way better than either one.

Also, Falken recently came out with the FK-452 which is supposed to be an improvement (which isn't difficult).

What kind of car is this going on?

Oh my god I hope your kidding cause if you're not you're the most ignorant ******** I've seen.

It's a tire question not a car question moron...just asking if anyone has had experience with these tires.

I've owned 2 GSR's and been on this forum since '00.

Should I go back and edit and say it's going on an Accord? Will that make a difference if anyone has had experience with a tire?

Fukcing retards on here.

So you don't think that people on a VW forum would be more familiar with that car and the tire offerings for it?

YOu sir are a moron.

I'm asking about TIRES just the tires...nothing more. Doesn't matter if they're going on buick.

I've narrowed it down to these two tires and want experience with them...noise issues, tread wear, wet/snow traction. The regular...I'm not tracking the car, I just drive it around town like a normal human being. If I have a technical question about my VW I'll go as on Vortex for sure but this is just general tire question.

So if I wanted to detail my car I couldn't ask on here cause the same wax that works good on a Honda won't work on a VW? GTFO

I also asked on here cause like I said I've been on HT forever, I know people are usually a little more helpfull on here then vortex and this board moves faster, plus if I'm on the computer HT is open and logged in somewhere...I only go on vortex when I have to.

Well anyway I bought the Nitto's. I've just had to much great experience with them especially in the rain snow and these are going on my stock wheels and in the spring I'll be getting be 18"x9.5" with a 3" lip so these will be my winter wheels.
