Falken vs Continental

[m52power]

Hey guys so the response I had heard was the Axis Shine wheels in 20s. But the Need4Speed.com is having a blowout sale on the continental contisport contact2 tires. The guys said he thought they were a better tire and were alot more expensive than the falken 452 but they were having a sale on them. What I cant figure out is the rims and tires with the continentals are 2200 and the rims and falkens are 2300. The continentals he said are better tires with a tread wear of 280 although the falkens have 300. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO???

I'd go with what you want. He could be telling you that to reduce some stock on the conti's.

When I ordered from them, the Falken was just king for the application. The conti's might ride better though. I think they are oem on some expensive cars, but I've also heard they have terrible tread life.

Couldnt tell you about the continentals but Ive got falken raptors now and they are FAR better than the kumhos i had before them

^That.

SportContact 2's will wear out mucho rapido, you'll be lucky to get 10-12K outta them........& after they are at about 2/3rd's worn out they will turn into water skis in the wet.

For a decent street tire, I have no complaints about my old FK451's.....& everyone I know with 452's says good things about them. I've got over 15k on my 451's & they are still 50% remaining, & I havent exactly been nice to them.

you should step back and walk away from the axis wheels.There isn't anything wrong with the quality of that wheel for the application. If you don't like the way the wheel looks or just don't like Axis, then what's it to you?

They have branched out and are making affordable wheels for affordable platforms. When they started they were nearly all Euro, mainly Italian part manufacturers. There is nothing wrong with the craftsmanship of their parts.
