Anyone run Ohtsu tires? I know LMR sells them, but I don't know if they are any good?

We have used them just a few times, not too much experience with our customer for us to be 100% comfortable.

What are you looking for out of your tires, we can help you pin point the exact set you are looking for.

Just so you know ohtsu and falken are the same company
I was a little nervous buying Falkens as I always thought they were considered kinda "off brand," but I have been really pleased with the set I had on a previous vehicle. They were summer performance tires, don't remember which.
If they're the same as Ohtsu, I say give it a shot! They're cheap and if you hate 'em then just use the line lock feature :headbang:

I like the way you think, you probably got the fk453 tires. The flakens Azeni tires were the first set of tires I ever had on a aftermarket pair of wheels on my first car.

Just my experience and opinion about Falken:
I've bought their tires in the past, never again... Tread life is horrible and after the tires get some miles on them, a lot of road noise.

Thanks for your feedback, we would have to agree with the tread life, around 20k miles is around what we see in going through may sets at the shop, however considering that they are used on vehicles with lowered suspension and negative camber, the insides go out far sooner than the entire tire. As for the road noise, you do get some road noise, but nothing more than usual is what we are getting from our clients that use them.

Thanks again for your feedback and experience, its what makes this forum so great! :cheers:
