Default Yet Another Tire Thread
I had pretty much decided on going with Kuhmo ASX tires, but a local dealer said he can install a set of Falken GB-Beta FK451s on my C5 for around $625. He gave me a good sales pitch on the tires and they have a 30 day satisfaction guarentee. Which of the two would you recommend, ASX or Falkens?


Oh yeah, we don't happen to get a discount from Tirerack do we?

No discount from tire rack. Firestone Wide Ovals are a better deal even at tirerack. Better tire, cheaper price.

Tirerack doesn't show the Wide Ovals in stock C5 sizes.
