I think I've got the 502s on the Levin, seem to be lasting for quite a while. Not brilliant grip in the wet, but I dont really have anything to compare them too. Were the cheapers 215/35/18s I could find at the time, dont really want to buy more in a hurry either way :P

Sell both and get sum goodyears or dunlops . It wood really come dwn to personal preference as they are both probably as gud as each other but the falkens wood probably give a smoother ride and they kingstars wood be noisier but slightly better grip . way it up 8)

king stars are crap, made by hankook, but it dosent state that on the tyre... maybe they to ashamed...lol

the falkens are alot better by far, but you could invest your money in a better set of tyres
