Question Falken Ziex 512

anyone have experience with these tires? i want something thats affordable (these are only 54 bucks a tire!), grip well in dry and wet, and are driveable in light snow. oh and wear pretty decent too.

these look pretty damn good, especially for the price.

for the FC i assume?

i have these exact tires for my FC (15" rims)

they are quite good, excellent wet and dry traction, ok for light snow, anything above 2" you probably want to be VERY careful

I am also looking at these tires... 205/60/R15...

Anyone else have any reviews on them? I heard a few comments on people saying that have very weak sidewalls. Is this true?

how strong of a sidewall do you need????

these are H-rated 'all weather performance tires', which means it's not meant to be driven like a Toyo T1-S or something like that

did i mention they are cheap???

I've decided to go with the Yokohama AVS ES100's. They seem to be a better preformance tire and much stronger sidewall. Alot of people are running them and seem to like them.

I really like the Potenza RE-92 tires that came on some 91 Coupe wheels I bought. I also like the BFG Comp TA tires that someone gave me for free, great traction on both tires, but that soft compound doesn't last very long with my driving style.
