so far i am liking the falkens....had them on my last car as well and liked them...people say they are a little noisy but i dont hear anything with my exhaust and radio on so that dont bother me...and the tread life should be a lot longer than 11k miles...they have the same W rating....they arent all season tires but that dont bother me...im trying to think of the model # they were 452 or 451 maybe...but def a great tire and a lot less then bridgestone potenza...i was quoted $250 a tire for potenzas the falkens were $163 a tire

Check treadwear ratings. For example a 200 treadwear rating says that tire will have 200% the longevity of a 100 treadwear rated tire.
If you hated your 140 treadlife tires, then look for something around 280 or 300.
I know Pilot Sport A/S has a 400 treadwear rating.
Your falkens are 300 rated.
