Tires Falken or Goodyear
So the deal surprised me. I got 5 wheels and 2 with bent lip and 3 brand new 245 40 17 falken azenis pt722. So as I drove back stopped by Passaic county tire in psrerson Nj and got the tires dismounted and sold them the tires for $50.
I got falken tires made in Thailand on my tahoe and some tires mad in Czech Republic on my mini cooper.
That said, after picking the tire I thought would provide the best value I found the Goodyear Comfort Tread Touring was the same bottom line price locally because of a big rebate. Made in USA and may be the best tires I have ever owner.
Just put a set of 329s on my A4 and already feel a huge improvement in the ride quality.
Decided to go with GoodYear Assurance Comfortred Touring tires. Already put on 400 miles on them and I have no complaints yet. However... they ride better than the previous tires. The Comfortred sticks to the road and at high rate of speed (80mph) was a slight noise level to them but after riding on them, I do not hear any noise from them.
I run Falken 512 in 205/45/16 on 16x7 wheels. I wouldn't run 40 sidewall, particularly if stretched onto an 8.
The tire I decided to go with is the Goodyear Eagle RS-A2 P245/45R19, as it is almost the exact diameter of my stock P225/65 16" tires, and they were an affordable choice ($185 Canadian).
I HIGHLY suggest Falken Azenis PT722. My local Audi Indy shop is practically getting all of their customers on these after they had it on their performance Audis.... And they loved them. I put them on my Passat.... Best tire I have had on that car.
I bought some Falken Ziex ZE-912s for my Magny Cours because I was hoping to sell my car and I needed something inexpensive. Turns out, they're a pretty good tire. The sidewall is too soft on them for something that claims high performance, but they do grip really well. The suck in the snow however, so I wouldn't depend on them for that (despite their all-season claim).
Had Falken Ziex Ze-912... won't buy them again.
