I need a new set of tires for my Si rims, which one do you guys recommend?? Looking for a set that will be a good all aroung tire, nothing too serious like taking them to the track just for daily driving. Help me out. Thanks

www.tirerack.com - look at customer reviews for each facet of the tire's performance. Or try a search here on CSi, you'll find your answer.

Falkens will not be on any rating list yet. Too new.

I went from Kumho 712s to Falken Azenis this year and the change was huge. But if you are not going to compete then the Kumho 712s will be fine. Just realize that either tire will not be good in the snow.

I've got the Falken Azenis' and i love them.. Everyone i know (4 people) with Kumho 712s dislikes them! Some say too noisy and they all say not very much grip. The Falkens have a shitload of grip

Oh come on! I can't find 2 people that don't like them, let alone 4! The Kumhos are a great summer tire.

Kumho's are a waist of money, if your in a hurry to throw cash away buy kumho's. Dunlap puts out a good tire I think it's called sp 9000 check www.tirerack.com

I hove no complaints with my 712's. I wouldn't know how they handle in the winter since I put my stockers back on.
