Re: Falken Tires

Ron,
i have two friends who are running those tires, and they both wanna get rid
of them.  they have a great tread life on them, yet i have watched both of
the guys tires just slide out from underneath them during canyon runs..and
they are both hellova drivers.  they major compliaint was that you cannot
feel when they are going to break away..they just go with out warning...i
dont know what state you are in, but i am sure the weather plays a role in
all of this out in cali.  my friends both say they make a mistake going the
'cheap' route..please dont make the same..especially if you are a sporty
driver..
