Because I've realized that there is absolutely no point in trying to prove anything to a group of 18 year-olds. After reviewing the thought-process of some of you, I feel somewhat shamed for even giving the time of day. For example, the rationale behind a product being good because it was selected in comparison to others solely on the fact that it was selected, regardless of placement...now that's classic. :tup:

well, you didnt help out the OP...... saying the stock tires are better than the Falkens was wrong... then picking PS2's... then going back to the stock tires.... doesnt help

the point of the thread was is it a good tire or not... it wasnt about which tire should he get

since u are too of a "know it all".... things just dont get through ur head...lol

First off, we aren't 18 years old, but if that makes you feel better then go right ahead and think that we are, it appears to be your only defense and like the rest of your statements, you have absolutely no information to back it.

Secondly, you are welcome to find our rationale as screwed up as we find your claims that Falken 452s are of lesser quality than the stock tires. It's funny though that when asked to provide your sources for this statement you get all silent. I guess this is just a big JoeD FAIL tonight...

To JoeD-knowitall-tireexpert-bigshot-60yearoldwithallthe experience. This is obviously a pointless comment/ststament but wth! - On my rx-8 I ran a set of PS2's (on the stock 18x8 wheels), they had horrible wet traction - they had OK dry tractions and they wore out in less than a year (I don't drive tpp aggressively). My next set of tires? Kumho Ecsta SPT - I would give those tires a 9 in wet and dry and an 8 in wear as oppose to those infamous PS2's you swear by which got a 6 in dry, 4 in wet and a 3 in wear - but that's just from my personal experience and doesn't matter or maybe I got a bad set. :tiphat:

Since Mr. JoeD-knowitall had to throw out the Bridgestone pictures I may as well throw out the Kumho reveiw right!?

Best bang for buck tires would be Federals 595/ 595RS. Falken do make great tires, I really like the Azenis RT615, they grip pretty well for track and street use. I wouldn't recommend them for daily use tho, but you can (well I did). Do not use RT615 if you are going to complain about fast tread wear, or not being all season (it doesn't hold up well in the rain esp for RWD from my experience).

nogoodname, joed & togo - pm me your addresses and I'll send you 5 dollars each, so you can pop out to the mall and buy a handbag and some mascara. It might help a bit.

:tiphat: I still love you and your crazy sense of humour - this forum is clearly just one of the ways you release some of the naughty old testosterone you're building up till you're old enough to buy that car.

nogoodname 09-13-2009 09:47 AM

Mr.Chubbs, you mean old enough to buy another sport car




.....LOL

hey joed, why did you buy the 370z? it only has 90% of the performance that the cayman S has, but you'd only have to be on a budget to get this one. Why not spend the extra dough and do it right, like tires? I mean what's an extra few bux gonna do per year for the cayman s when you're doing it right? dont settle for this budget pseudo racecar.
