What tires are you guys using on your 20's

I would like to hear input. I have been running falken f452 tires for the longest..and although i have been satisfied(other than quick tire wear), the other day while i was at NTB(national tire and battery) the tech told me the falkens are cheap and that I should have went with the michilen pilot sports. The falkens are def. not cheap(well in price aspect) so not sure if he was just trying to sell me on stuff especially since I will be needing new tires in about 2-3 months but it did open my mind to possibility of trying other tires. Heard good things about the Goodyear F1 Assymetric as well.

Is there a code to get it down to 650? I am getting 780 for those sizes.

I run the FK452's as well. (and have had zero issues them) I kick myself for not buying the Michelin's when they were on sale, even though I didnt need tires at the time.

I'm running Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 all the way around. 255 front and 305 rear. They've been great so far, great wet and dry and best of all they are quiet. I believe I had Falkens on before and they were extremely loud. Those replace some Contis which were as quiet as the Hankooks. My comparison is that the K110s are as quiet as the Contis, offer essentially the same performance and are a fraction of the price.

A German friend told me the Hankooks are considered the Asian Continental - similar performance but a lower price. Note that the tread designs are similar. And they drive AMGs summer and winter on the A'bahn. He uses Icebears in the winter.

Hankooks are what they are recommending on the AMG side as well.
