In the dry they are better than the DWS. Much more responsive but they suck in the wet. I took them on the Dragon they are very noisy but even screaming they still had tracking.

for instance DWS once they started making noise VDC kicked in hard, but with the Falkens they can scream all day, though that's very close to the limit of the tire.




I guess its just your HFC's sounds louder then I remember it lol
Yea, when i drive normally theyre great no complaints but when i drive aggressive i can see some flaws in the tires. I think they have a softer side wall though cause it almost feels like the tires are rolling in the turns sometimes. I think im going with the same tire in the front though you just cant beat this wear its getting.

Anyone looking for an inexpensive SSDs, go to newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3668349&SID=

$80 for OCZ Vertex 3 120GB drive, free shipping & $10 mail-in rebate. So bottom line, that's $70 for a 120GB SSD, which is less than $0.60/GB. Woo!

Happy Monday indeed. Deposited my insurance check today, my new wheels should be shipped to me by tomorrow.

Unfortunately snoop has not had quite as happy of a Monday.

The only wear theyre showing is the edges are starting to get a little melted from all the abuse ive been giving them. As far as traction goes in the dry theyre pretty good in the wet theyre ok shes never really stepped out on me unless i made it. She will spin a little though with VDC on in the rain if you really get on it but like i said i was trying for that to happen. Also good news is my laptop i ordered from dell came in a week earlier . Im loving it!!! My Osiris Tuner is already delivered at my work address so il be picking that up tomorrow BTW Aaron nice donuts! Also Happy Fathers day to any of the dads on here (if any)
I've heard good things about the continental DWS.... Those are the tires I was going to go with when I thought I was ordering my new wheels through Courtesy Collision/Discount Tire.... then they tried screwing me over and marking up the wheels 20% (nearly $600 ) so I took my business elsewhere. Now like I said I had the choice between falken, hankook, and nitto, so I chose nitto. Wet traction is the most important thing to me.

Yea like i said i have no complaints with them the only thing i didnt like was the side wall thing but it maybe due to the fact that they just plain out have more tread on the tire i wanna try a 35 series to see if that improves it.
