Default Need opinions on Falken ZE 512's basically I think

they arent bad for the cost. Tread life is good performance is decent for the price. Basically middle ground between life and performance.

What are your opinions?

Default Had them on my 225TTR...

Only had them on for about 6000 miles, but for the dollar they couldnt be beat. Very quiet, handled very well in the wet. Going to replace the continentals with them on my S4 and A4. Dont think Michelins are twice as good for twice the price...

I heard they suck. If you want sticky rubber go for the FK's.

Default Great tire for all around comfort driving, But

they are not a good choice for a car with stiff suspension. I have them on the A6 Avant and love them. I took them off the S6 the suspension was to stiff and it just made the tire feel loose.

Default Why not spend the $ for something better??? They're for a $50k car?

I got 20k miles on my Toyo T1-S, and I rode them pretty hard. No track time on them though.
