For the price, Falken FK452's are great. Quiet, lots of traction, and last for a long time!

I've got Michelin Pilots. Great when the road is wet or dry. Absolutely terrible in the snow.

Nitto NT555, great priced tires with great dry traction. Heavy road noise however, but my car is loud anyway. Falken's are okay too, not as grippy.

I have the Falken FK452's on my BMW and they are crap. Handle outstanding, which all BMW's do anyway, but their noise is terrible. I can hear my wife coming down the street with the garage door open, their that loud.

I just purchased a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT, size 275/35/19 for rear, and 245/40/19 for the front and I love them, so far. I just had these installed the day before yesterday and havent had a chance to really try them out. They are quite expensive, and they are quiet. I replaced the Khumo Ecsta's with these. I found a warehouse here locally that has over 20,000 used tires on hand at all times. I picked these up for 200 bucks, mounted and balanced, and with 95% tread left. They still had the **** still on them. They are over 400 new a piece. I will NEVER buy a new tire again. If you live close to Bama, I would give these guys a chance, and you pick out the tires you want!
