falken 512 or 912 for performance

hankook optimo to last longer.

The 912's are pretty nice tires for the price.

My car came with Kumho Solus tires on them. Wasn't impressed with them so I'd recommend the Falken 912's.

i got some 512s when they were on sale for 60 and Im happy with them

great stick and performance. Everyone says they last like 20k miles though.

One blew up actually on the freeway too.

I think falken 912s lead their category in handling and braking, they also do not last long. Ignore that mileage warranty part discount tires uses their own mileage to push cars. 912s are 30-40k tires if that.

where as the optimo is a 50-60k tire it will last a long time.

thats pretty much all the choices out there right now. There used to be kuomos and federal formozas too but I dont see them. Looks like its shrinking right now to 4 choices.

nankings whatever that is. sounds like chinese food.

Coming from someone that works at America's Tire/Discount Tire, you need to be very anal with these tires if you want them to wear evenly. Alignment, air pressure, and rotation intervals all need to be spot on or you'll be replacing them early. They have decent performance, but their wear characteristics are absolutely terrible.
