3 Months and Falken FK452's are shot!
#16
Alright so I got the hankooks mounted yesterday and got it aligned today. my alignment numbers were all out of whack. I took it to one place and the guy wanted to charge me $300 bc he said that my camber would take a lot of work. He also told me that he'll fix my front camber WITHOUT a camber kit. Is that even possible?
I told the guy screw you and took it to autoglitz in Hollywood and they're real upfront and friendly ppl no games no bs. They kept me in the loop throughout the entire alignment, and adjusted my camber to what I wanted it for a hell of a lot cheaper than the first place.
Front camber was set to -2.2
rear: -2.1
and toe is completely in spec. I'm happy with it and the hankooks. A big upgrade from
the falkens and damn were those falkens loud!!!

My toe numbers were at one side -.82 and the other one I'm not sure. But my toe was really bad! And solis yeah that place is really good. Clean shop, friendly people, I had no complaints. And bro these hankooks r the sh*t!

from what i understand the more camber your running (regardless of the tire) the more uneven wear your guna be rockin thus your not getting optimal duration of ur tires
#26
^ that is true. You will get uneven wear from
extreme camber but from what i've noticed some tires r more forgiving than others when it comes to
camber. I've ridden on vredesteins and pirellis both low profiles with negative camber and did not get crazy wear from them like the falkens. They may be good tires for the daily driver that's not lowered and perfectly aligned but those tires suck to stretch and fail under negative camber

^ yea totally, I know its not the same but I had falkens on my old car and they were extremely low profile (looked like ruber bands) but i wasnt lowered or anything and the tires lasted me the whole time i had the car! i think i sold the car at 60000 km and I got the rims n tires on at 3000km! Although i only drove the car with rims + tires in summer (5 months or so)....
Which tires have you had the best experience with?
