i went to Discount Tire today to get some new tires. i called in before-hand and made an appointment to get some Kuhmo AST's (couldn't afford anything better) and upon arriving, the sale's rep told me that they had just sold their last set and that the person who had made my appointment didn't put down what tires i wanted. he told me there were some Falken FK452's in stock and asked if it would be okay if i got those instead at the same price. i was hella' happy. i got Falken FK452's for $88 a piece.

went in for these, Kuhmo AST's - $88:


and got these, Falken FK452's for matched price:

 

How much are the Falkens regularly?

 

depending on size.....about $30-35 more each.

 

the Falken's were $121.

 

man I hope they have that issue when I go get tires next spring for the Yaris.......I like my Falkens that are on it now.....they have made it about 35000 miles with regular rotation and even ride them this last winter in the snow with success.

 

hahaha i hope these falkens last me longer than my previous ones.

 

what size did you get? stock sizes?

 

ast: all season... 452 are luxury sport summers.... soooo dont drive with them in snow!

btw i used to have falkens ( 512s and 452s... they didnt lasted more than 15k miles)

 

yea, i bought them in stock specs (215/45/17) and i won't be driving them in the snow since i live in the central valley.

 

asts>452s

ive had both.. cureently ridings the 452 in my rear

 

fk452 are only good for stetching. i wouldnt buy them as a performance tire.

 

my car's just a daily driver, i don't do much with it besides driving it from point a to point b.

 

talk about being at the right place at the right time.

but if you aren't as lucky next time consider getting nitto neo-gens. they are about $99 per stock size tire.

 

we'll see what happens next time.
