the pilots are ultra high performance all season. They seem pretty good, alot of people using them, but they are a little over my budget for tires.

 

For how long you have had those and hows the handeling?
I am realy not looking for an ultra high performance myself like the pilots.
How long the Falkens will roughly last, for exemple I drive about 20 miles everyday and you all know the weather conditions here.

 

Well it all depends on how you drive, and how much attention you pay to balancing and rotating tires.

 

Let say I regularly get the balance and do the rotation on time. Iam a freak about those things. if I hear a small noice from somewhere, I get it checked or fixed right away.
would they toughly last 2 years about 30k miles???? more or less???

 

well, from what I read in another thread, you drive a little on the crazy side, so I would doubt 30K but a couple of reviews said the wear on the tires was pretty good, so they should last enough to satisfy the purchase I guess.

So no one here has any opinions on the BF tires? No one here has ran on them?

 

Best wet and dry tire I've ever owned BY FAR is the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Amazing tire. This is compared to Potenza S-03, Dlop SP9000, Yoko ES100, I'm forgetting one other.

Best all seasonal is what I current have on, Goodyear Tripletred Assurance. Handles 8/10 as well in the rain and dry as the Eagles, not quite the reflexes, but somehow it still manages snow better than my old Blizzaks.

 

Damn, Those Eagle tires have the best wet review I've seen so far. Dafinately looking into those, even though they are a little more expensive than the falken and BFs I was previously looking at.
Where did you purchase your tires?
The tripletred seem good too, but since I have no need for anything that will handle snow, I'll stay away from those. I'm guessing the snow handling part would make that a louder tire?

 

No they're actually pretty quiet. I got my F1s from Tirerack, I love that place. Rock bottom prices and 2 day shipping. I would highly highly recommend the Eagles if you're into handling and want the best tire you can buy. Their threshold is incredibly high and when you reach it you're greeted by noticeable signs through the steering and screeching. It's a very easy tire to drive fast, which is hard to come by IMO in that segment. I've done 90 in torrential downpours in those tires and they didn't skip a beat. They might not be quite as good as my old Dunlop SP9000s in the wet (they're pretty close though), but they blow them away in dry handling, reflexes and ride comfort.

 

From the reviews I've been readind some people rated these above the Pilots, someone rated above the falkens, some above the dunlops. The only bad thing I'm seeing is about the sidewalls being too soft, leading to easy blistering. Some reviews also have the tire breaking loose easily on hard cornering, but then again that was from people with 400+ HP (lets be honest... our accords are FAR from that) But after owning Kuhmos before and seeing how easy those blistered, I'm kinda scared about going for a tire that people have had that problem with. The wet reviews have definately got me sold on the tire though.

Maybe the 40 series with about a 38psi might hold the sidewall a bit firmer?

 

My sidewall didn't blister and I ran them hard, but the reviews are right, it is a bit softer than some other tires. This is what gives it such good ride quality though. I never had a problem with them breaking loose easily, I ran staggered PSI 34.5/37.5 when I had them. I think those were the numbers that gave me the most neutral handling. I plan to buy them again for my S2K when I get it
