i have the falken tires up front on my bird no complaints so far they are a pretty good tire for the price. but if i was going to do it all over again i would probably go with the bf goodrich just because i like the brand more. when i do get tires again i am going to go with bf goodrich all around.

I'm in the same boat. Both tires seem good and cost about the same.

the BFG's cant be beat for the cost. ~125 a tire.

Ive had mine a few thousand. So much quieter and overall better tire than kumho/stock crap

I had the Falkens on my old ZO6's, I liked em' alot, and didnt have any traction problems with them, but I was also about 80 RWHP less back then, and those were on heavy 18x10.5's. Those would still be my pick though.
