LOL.

Have all the "bang for your buck" you want...they are still a major downgrade from the factory tires. Falken doesn't even have a street-tire in the same league as the RE050A. Tires are among the most critical aspects of a car, and frankly the last place I'd skimp just to save $200.

But hey, if you're a broke college student working paycheck-to-paycheck just to make your car payments, by all means...get the most bang for your buck possible. Don't stop at Falken, though. Take a look at the Fuzion ZRi or Exclaim UHP...similar tires that you only see on bastardized, riced out pieces of crap.

wow....

Seriously? the re050's tread design is not NEARLY aggressive enough. Even the dated Azenies rt-615 will still be faster than them.
So im going to go out on a limb and say you think kumho is just Korean made garbage too right? while their Ecsta XS was tested as best of '09 by grassroots. even on top of Bridgestones RE-11 which is also on top of the re050. While doing that having the cheapest tire in the Max performance summer tire catagory. its like paying for a 911 turbo while the gtr still outperforms it
