I have ran Falken 452 religiously for 5 years of ownership, only switched because they dont make the large sizes I run now. (305)

have to leave Hankook and hit up Nitto Invos because they are the only ones who make rediculously wide tires. (345)

but love the Hankooks V12

I just got the Continental ExtremeContact DW (same thing) for the rear of my car.

After one flat RUNFLAT tire, $1000 later I have a brand new pair of rear tires and new front tie rods and an alignment.

-__-

Not what I would choose to spend a G on, but you gotta do what you gotta do. What sucks is that's literally almost ALL parts. $12.50 per wheel for mount/balance and $75 for the alignment (both things I literally cannot do on my own), then the labor for swapping both tie rods was less than an hour. There was no point in NOT paying them just to do the tie rods. Could have done them myself I guess, but it's done faster now and way less hassle. My tie rods are half aluminum half steel ?! Meaning the end is aluminum and the rest is steel. so that explains why they seized so easily.
