I need 2 new tyres. The rears are fine for now but I need 2 new front ones. Running Khumo KU31's and very happy with them but they're not the bargains they once were.
I'll probably bite the bullet and buy 2 more but I noticed I can get Falken FK452's for what I used to pay for Khumos. Reviews seem as good too.
I have 2 concerns.
Firstly I'll be mixing brands - I'm not doing track days but all the same I don't normally do this.
secondly, I used to run Federals which were very good (they're a real bargain now) but moved away as whilst the grip and lifespan were good, the ride and noise were below par. After 50% wear I started to think the front wheel bearings needed attention. The Khumos were a revelation in comprison and I don't want to screw up again for the sake of a few quid.
So
anyone had the falkens and how do they perform for ride, noise and comfort?
