Kumho ECSTA ASX Tires or the Falken 502 all seasons. Im looking to put them on 17 in wheels. I would like 215/45/17 sizing. So which do you think will give me more mileage? and which is made better?
 
Are you sure it's Falken 502 and not 512? I can't find any info on 502.

They both seem to offer a 30k mile treadwear warranty (prorated), although on paper, the ASX has a slightly higher treadwear index - may not matter much in real world.

How about Bridgestone RE960? Or is that outside of your price range?
 
That's a pretty old tire. Isn't it discontinued by now? May be tough to find a replacement in a year or so in case you damage one beyond repair. For a few bucks more you can have the ZE-912 which is a new design - higher treadwear rating and higher wet traction rating (AA).

Both of those tires won't last long in the mileage category. The 512's have great grip, but poor treadwear.

You can find better tires in that price range.
