This week (ending January 31, 2013) I ordered Michelin tires and will never again put Falken tires on my LS 400. Falken tires made my car severely vibrate from 60 miles an hour. Despite doing everything possible to correct this problem, including rotation, alignment, balancing, rebalancing and realignment, the problem never went away. I also took the car to various tire shops in my attempt to have the problem corrected. I filed a phone complaint with

In Phoenix, Arizona tires never saw snow. High performance in heavy rain, however. Noise and comfort are average, tread wear worse than most OEM brands. Wish I had them on my Civic, which was rear-ended in a stop-and-go accident. I was able to stop in time, the guy behind me (BMW) couldn't.

My pickup truck is not the ideal vehicle for the 415 HP track and the Mastercraft Avenger GTS tires are good for daily driving, but not suitable for a track.

Started well, but then the tread pattern developed a dreadful feathering which produced vibrations and a loud humming noise in the cabin. At first we thought the wheel bearings had gone, but it was the tires!

Started out well, but then the tread pattern developed a scary feathering which produced vibrations and a loud humming noise resonating in the cabin. At first we thought the bearings in the wheels had gone, but it was the tires!
