Nice you point out the Douglas. I have been looking at them also as they get pretty stellar reviews on walmarts website. Really confused especially between the Falklens since some people report great things while others report disaster. If you look up reviews across all sn250 sizes they get some mediocre reviews. Medium ratings in most groups and lots of reports of short life and even some sidewall blowouts on tirerack website.
Clearly the Douglas does not promise to last as long as Falkens. But if you are buying them from walmart you probably don't care about the warranty to begin with. My email to Falken ended with them telling me not to buy from walmart if I care about warranty.
What makes it so confusing is some people always seem to say great things while others have problems with every tire. A lot of people on the forum hate the enasaves and so far I have not had a problem. Some people on amazon say they got 60k miles on them and bought 3 sets. Others say they didn't make it to 20k.
Then the federals seem nice but some people also report poor MPG and it's not as cheap as 175 and will not last as long as a falken. Not sure how Falkens or any 175 compares to federals in terms of MPG. According to federal europe they get an F for fuel economy
I think I am probably going to just gamble with the Falkens when the time comes just for the chance to maybe not have to do 1 more tire change. If that doesn't go well I will experiment with douglas/federal.
