Default tire decision....

So I need some new tires....

Falken Ziex ZE-512

or

Yokohama AVID H4S

Suggestions?

The Yoko's are $7 more per tire, yes I'm trying to save as much money here as I can.

I think you'd be happier with the 512's.

I had the 512's on my Accord, loved em. And at only $45 per tire installed, can't go wrong.

Just put on 512's, they are awesome and the price can't be beat. I had great experiences with the Yoko's as well, but the Falken's have my vote.

NEPA weather. Much the same as what you have, maybe 5F colder (sometimes) in winter.

All-weather basically.
