Default New tires

I am junking the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712s and tomorrow am throwing on some Falken Azenis ST115

The Supra 712s basically are toast after 13000 miles. Loud as a meat grinder and lost performance is noticable.

Hopefully these don't suck as bad as the Kuhmos

yup - they were great for about 6000 miles. Then I notices shitty sidewall roll, excessive tire wear, tire groan.

I only used my 712s during all last summer and about 2 months this summer. Thats it and they suck. Don't buy them.

I'd buy toyo T1S's... they seem like the best bang for the buck. I hate cheap tires.
