Tire recommendations

Does anyone have anything positive or negative to say about these tires. I am in need of new tires and I'm in the process of researching now.

1. Yokohama Avid H4

2. Nitto NT 460 Premium Touring

3. BF Goodrich Traction T/A HR

4. Falken Ziex ZE-512

Havent ran any but the Falkens, lasted quite a while, 30,000+ miles. They got a little noisy by the end though. Decent traction when it was dry, and they shed water pretty well. Even survived a little snow. all in all a Decent all season tire.

Thanks for the input Zzyzx. Also if anyone has any other all-season performance tire in mind, it would be helpful.

I have Falken Ze-512s and I love them. They're so much better than stock it's not even funny. I got 205/60/15.

If you get them, do yourself a favor and buy them from http://www.vulcantire.com. They are by FAR the cheapest place to get the Falkens. I'm not even kidding. Their tires are cheap, and their shipping is cheap. It's like $205 or something for 4 shipped. Every other place is at least $250.

edit - I just checked. 4 205/60/15 Ze-512s shipped to me right now would be $202. That's SHIPPED!!!!

I just changed the zip code to 90210, and it raised the shipped price to $224. Still tho, that's so much cheaper than everyone else.

They have good customer service, and the shipping is fast, too.

Man, I can't recommend this company enough.

I agree with IronFist, I got my falken ze-512 from www.vulcantire.com and they were like $212 shipped for 4 of them. Awesome tires too. They handle everything, even crappy *** roads.
