Falkin Ziex ZE-912 vs Kuhmo Ecsta ASX
I recently purchased the Falkins to replace my Kuhmos and I'm not all that impressed. The salesman got me to switch over their 40k warranty vs the Kuhmo's 30k as well as assuring me "it's a better tire." Now I'm having buyers remorse. I only have two days left to return them so I've got to make up my mind pretty quick. If I return them I'm out almost $100 sales tax for both sets. What do you folks think? I know that neither is a great tire (you get what you pay for) but for an all purpose tire I thought the Kuhmo did pretty well. Anyone else have a suggestion for me?

I would suggest that you go talk to a manager and hammer out something you consider fair. They actually have a lot of options... Good luck! What company? Keith |

Re: Falkin Ziex ZE-912 vs Kuhmo Ecsta ASX
Just dropped her off for a new set of shoes. I'm going back to the Kuhmos, free of charge. I've bought all my tires from Discount Tire Co (or American Tire Co here in CA) since I was 16. No questions asked they're swapping them out and spotting me the whole whopping $8 difference between sets.
They did have a special on a set of Goodyear Eagle F-1 that only had 80mi on them. It would've only been a $75 step up from now, but they don't have the warranty or replacement guarantee because they were used (some lady bought them and decided a week later that she wanted 18"s). I'm going to stick with what I know for now. Thanks for the input guys.
