Falken Ziex ZE-512 Review

Mike"2004 Honda Accord EX - 205/60/16 - OE tires were a joke, went through those in 20,000 miles. Drive many hi-way miles, and love taking corners at high rates of speed. These tires have roughly 8,500 miles on them, and seem to be holding up well. Handling, grip and wet traction is superb!"

Fortunately, they had a 30K mile warranty. Although these tires have very good characteristics and are relatively inexpensive, I can't recommend them because of their really poor treadwear. "

Once tread wore down to about halfway, wet traction went to very poor, tires spin pulling from stops. Good treadwear for first third of tread depth, very quick wear after that. Got 30,000 miles out of them. I don't recommend these for snow, as I could not get up any of the hills around here even after they were plowed."

As for the snow I find they are not great since I have had many different tires that have performed better than these."

chip"Toyota MR2 Turbo 1991 - 195/60 205/60 - I've been very happy with these tires. I can take turns very hard and not slide out dry or wet. They've felt safe on light snow and ice, too, with little or no skidding. I will likely buy again."

Derek"VW Jetta - 205/60/R15 - Amazing tires! Had them for one year so far. I only use them as summer tires, exceptional grip in the rain, flawless on dry pavement. Highly recommended!"

HuKaShI"2004 Acura TL - 245/45/17 - I have had these tires now for 28,000 miles. They started out great. Great grip and no noise. The tires today are still great. But the noise is unbearable. I don't think I'll go with tires ever again. Yes they are a great price but not worth it for the noise it produces."

John Stanga"2002 Mercury Cougar XR - 215/ 50VR17 - Just took these tires on my car. They were the worst tires I have ever owned in thirty years! Bald after 10K. Always pulled to the right. Noisy, rode like a buckboard. I would never buy again!"

Daren"1990 Toyota Supra and 1991 Nissan 240SX - 225/50/60, 235/45/17, 275/40/17 - It's hard to say how well these tires hold, as I've had good and mediocre times with these tires. For the price, they're surprisingly sticky in warm weather. Sometimes I find myself wheel spinning when I think it should just stick, however my cars aren't stock. The 275's don't really look as wide as the measurement suggests, but they stick decent. In most cases just a short burnout will get these tires warm enough for a good launch. I stuck with the Ziex tires because they've done incredible in the desert. My 240 sat outside from early Feb 2003 to early Aug 2003 and the tires still hold air over two years later. For the price, Ziex tires are a very good deal.. especially if you like whipping it in parking lots, it's way cheaper to buy another set of these tires than most sticky tires. "

Mark"1998 Firebird - 245-50-16 - WORST TIRES EVER! I've owned 20 cars over the years and many times that in tires. Maybe not worst but tied for worst with some tires i got once made in Yugoslavia. Dangerous in rain and LETHAL in snow. I've literally driven on tires which were worn to the cords that had better wet/snow traction than these. They shouldn't be able to market these as All-Season, they are NOT! These are 3-season, maybe summer tires at best! Ini dry weather they are just OK. Poor sidewall stiffness but dry traction is fairly good. Would NEVER buy these again and if you are buying them for a rear wheel vehicle, better have your insurance paid up. "

Mazda6"Mazda 6 - 215/50/17 - Had the tire for only 500 miles in Buffalo, NY. Had a couple of 3-4" snow storms. Tire handled it all very well. Dry and wet traction are very good for an all season. Almost like a summer tire. Ride is a little more harsh and louder than the Michelins they replaced. But performance is way better. Not a dedicated snow tire. Tracks surprisingly straight in snow and stops well. Off the line traction is only so so though. But it's not a dedicated snow tire. I expect to be a satified buyer with these."

Rick San Diego"Lexus SC300 - 225/45/17 - NOT ALL ZE-512 ARE THE SAME; my size, 225/45/17 has reinforced sidewalls which may make for better, firmer handling than others. TREADWEAR IS POOR; at 25,000 mine are about done; were well worn at 20K, mostly highway driving and rotated every 6K miles on my Lexus SC300. "
