Wow. I can honestly say I'm speechless after reading these two quotes.
I guess I'm just in a different crowd.

You're NOT jeopardizing or compromising ANYTHING because you bought these for a cheaper price than other tires.

Not saying Falken makes a low-grade tire. They are, however, mid-grade "budget" performance-tires. They have nothing comparable to the likes of PS2s, RE050A PPs, F1 GS-D3s, PZeros, etc. Frankly, any other street-tire is a big step down from the OEM 370Z tires. These are tires that come from the factory on some of the word's premier sports/exotic-cars, and downgrading from that level is quite laughable.
I can understand if you're in a bind and can't spend $1,200 on a set of proper tires as it's double what a set of Falken/Hankook/General/Fuzion will run, but as I said...what's an extra $600 every two years.
