OK, about to buy new tires for my new 17" rims. I've narrowed it down to either Kumho ECSTA Supra 712s or Falken FK451s. At the place I'm getting the tires from, the Falken's are roughly $70 more expensive. Anyone here think that I should go with the falken's or the kumho's taking into account the difference in price? Thanks in advance.

I know nothing about the Falkens and if you don't know anyone who has used them, I would stay away from them. The Kumhos are the best bang for your buck tires. Yes the Yoko AVS 100s are better but they are at least 30% more experience than the Kumhos. Tirerack did a comparison review of the Kumhos and Yokos and the Yokos did win but not by 30%. I have owned both Yokos and Kumhos and neither tire impressed me on the how long they lasted.
