Default Kumho716s or falken ziex ze 512....

I need tires immediately! I can get either of the two for around the same price. My primary concern is treadlife, but I would like decent handling and appearance as well. My car stock, so I won't be racing around so much. I've read that the Falkens have a 60,000 treadware warrant (195/60/15), but have read on the net that they only last about half that long. The Kumho's have a 50,000 mile warranty. I'm just wondering if anybody has experienced either of these tires and could offer a fair review. TIA

Im on my second set of Falken 512's.
I've heard from 3 people ( one on this forum ) and two in my neighborhood where their Kumho tires have shredded...maybe because of the weather...
Go with Falkens and you wont be disappointed........

also if you search it will yield the answers your inquiring about.

the Nitto 460's have a treadwear rating of 460 and A/A for both traction and temp.

all the reviews that ive read said that it was a great all season tire.

I am on my second set of 512's and I put these tires through hell and I love them. The tread life is great.
