Falken Ziex ZE-512 Review

Anonymous"I drive a 93 Mazda Protege. Not by any means a race car, but indeed a spirited performer. The handling left something to be desired, this is until I bought these tires! Within the first 5 miles I had noticed the DRAMATIC difference. In fact, the stopping traction was so good on both wet and dry that I thought there was a problem with my brakes since they weren't locking. Cornering grip is dramatically improved as well as response. All this while remaining quiet and excellent in the snow here in New Jersey! Also put them on a 2002 Camry. HUGE difference! BUY THEM!!!!!! I cannot say enough about them!!!"

Azfar"Kia Spectra 1.6 (M) - Bought a set of 4 new 195/55 R-15 Falken Ziex ZE512 when my brand new car arrived back in July 2002..it was REALLY IMPRESSIVE! it handled well in both wet and dry,and doesn't show any signs of aqua-planning..but back in December 2003,i had to change tyres as the Falken had to be changed after 28000km..uneven wear due to my driving style.. After that i tried the Yokohama Aspec dB A500..it really sucks in the wet..then changed to Bridgestone Turanza ER30..even worse than the Yokohamas! i skidded and almost crashed a few times! this weekend i'll be getting the Falken Ziex ZE512 again! this time around in 195/50 R-15.."

There is a world of difference between these and my old Yokohama's. They are incredibly more quiet than my old tires. The ride quality has increased a great deal as well. Excellent tires, I would definitely buy these again."

Mike"03 Civic - I am not a fan of the Falken I cannot seem to get them balenced! Around town they are ok, but once I am at or above 65mph they vibrate like crazy. I will be going back to Bridgestones or Michelins."

troy"I have put about 25000 miles on the 512's and over all I have been satisfied. Handles well, and not only is the price attractive but so is the tire. My only complaint would be uneven wear on the tire edge. Center of tire is like brand new and the edge is virtually bear. Tire is set at 30psi and they are on a 2000 infinity Q45."

mark"Saab turbo - Replaced Michellin Pilot for these...the Falken is better in the snow but you will pay in the Tread Life, let me just say these are good for one year max...I put on a little over 16,000 in 13 months and I have no treads on them, the Mich.Pilots on the other hand had great tread life I put over 65,000 miles on them but were not good in the snow........if you don't mind using the Falken for one season they are ok but get ready to buy new tires next year..........."

Andrew M"Toyota Corolla TRD - I previously had Goodyear RSAs on my car and recently replaced them with the Falken 512. First thing I noticed was that the tires were quieter and smoother driving than the RSAs ever were. Plus, the traction was excellent in dry conditions. Then today it started pouring rain and there was 1/2" to 1" of water on the streets. So I took the car out to see how the tires were. Holy *%#! is all I can say. I could not get these tires to hydroplane if I tried! 65 mph? no problem. Donuts? They still would not let go of the pavement. I feel alot safer knowing these tires won't let me down."

James"2001 Nissan Maxima - I replaced the original Bridgestone RE92's which had 43k miles on them. I now have about 2500 miles on the Falkens, and I am very pleased. Traction on wet roads is 100% better, and about the same on dry roads. I do not have a problem with hydroplaning any longer."

lcb"2002 Nissan Maxima SE 6 spd manual - Bought this tire in 245/45/ZR17 . . not stock tire size .. .but same diameter ...its a good tire but not great . . .I think the car it too high performance for it . . .tire was originally an H tire and has a Z version which is what I have .. I don't think it's that high of a performance tire .. .sidewalls are too soft; turn in is diminished .. at least the ride is softer despite lower profile ...they work ok but don't expect Michelin Pilot, Pirelli, or Toyo level performance at half price. . .you get what you pay for, to some extent."

For the past winter, I did not have any skid when I brake on snow. Also, it handles well during this year's rainy spring. Considering the money you pay for, these are top quality products."

KC"2003 Honda Accord EX V6 - Night and Day vs. stock Michlen MXVs. Upsized from org. 205-16-60 to 215-16-55 for better handling. Mich.MXV's only good for fuel efficiency. 512's handling and dry traction is much better, and the car can be pushed harder with confidence. No better performance for value."

Gord M"2001 Nissan Maxima GLE - Like having a new car! Very quiet, with tight handling. I've had them for about a month now and so far I'm very impressed. No good in snow and ice though. If you want snow performance you need Michelin Arctic Alpins or Nokian Hakkapeliitta ."
