some also said that falken tread more 'keras' ..maybe that the cause of noisy...price among these two not much different but falken more cheaper..but the things im worried are in wet condition...confuse between two of these.. which should i choose..

wat model are you using? depends...i used 912 and 522, both very different tyres...912 is soft and quite noisy, 522 very hard and noisy...currently using kumho ecsta spt, ku 31, which is overall very good

Don't use falken 522, very slippery during wet condition.
My car spin before during cornering with falken 522, luckily no car at the behind.
It can last very long but the performance is too bad...

tried Kumho before, but no idea whether the model discontinued. very nice i would say, only thing turn me down is the wear and tear, it only last me 30,000km/one year. Falken is a no-no for me.
