Thanks but I don't really need anyone to judge what tires they feel I need. I've bought enough tires in my life to know what I'm looking for. The tires in question are new on the market and I was looking for personal experience to help base my decision on. They do have reviews on the web site, but frankly in todays world i find it hard to believe the reviews I read online because often companys pay bloggers to write false reviews about their products to generate sales. But I appreciate your desire to try and help.

If I was going to get azenis, sure the RT-615's, Of course this is the tire that out performs every tire with in $50 of it's retail price. But with a treadwear of 200? Eh I don't want to have to replace them after a season and a half. I would get the st-115's their treadwear is 360, My friend has these and I don't know, I thought they looked odd and wasn't fond of the rounded shoulder. They looked odd on his rims. Which is what brings me back to the ones I initially posted. Sure they aren't a high grip sticky tire with really low tread wear. But they seem pretty decent and have a good life to them. hence I'm looking for some reviews on them.

I use the FK451's on the 7 for driving around and I have no complaints with them what so ever. Of course, my experience may be completely different as I am running 285/30/18 rear and 245/35/18 fronts.

They do seem to be a good bang for the buck. Here is some opinions on them.

For the price your paying for the falkens i would pick up the kumho spts. and in fact instead of opting for free shipping, go to tire rack, pay for shipping and get a road hazard program along with your set of 4.

I think they are one of the best bang for the buck tires. No tire noise on the highway, grip very well in dry and wet. I think they are a good buy, I have them on my car in 215/45/17
