Falken Ziex ZE-512 Review

Ross Johnson"Infiniti Q45T This tire grips well in wet and dry cornering. However the sidewalls need more support, they tend to roll a bit on sharp turns. I recommend this tire on a ligher vehicle than mine. They were not as durable as I needed. I bought these tires and four months later I had to replace them (diff. brand) as 3 of the 4 tires I was told were flawed or defective. I drive mainly on highways with no unusual conditions. No tire is perfect but this was very expensive to correct even with warranty adjustment."

Doug"I replaced my OEM Bridgestone Portenzas after 46,000 miles with ZE-512 ZIEX 225/50-17 last month. I drive a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE 6 speed manual. I was happy with the Portenzas only on dry surfaces. They were terrible on anything wet and should not be driven on snow. The new ZE-512 ZIEX have been great. I have driven them for about 1000 miles and finally had a chance to drive them on snow. I live in the Minnapolis area so this was a major factor for me buying the Falken's. Although they will not replace snow tires by any stretch they did hold up very well in the snow. They are very solid in the rain. I can honestly say I used to have to drive the Portenza's around 45 mph on wet pavement on the interstate. I have no problem staying in the fast lane now with the Falkens. I highly recommend these tires not only for performance but they really are a steal compared with what is out there price-wise. "

Milton"Lexus ES300 - Falken 205/65VR15 replaced Michelin MXV4 I was looking for a V rated tire with better wet and snow handling. The Falken Ziex is an excellent V rated tire. Dry - traction was almost equal to the MXV4s Wet - traction was much, much better. Water and puddles were not a problem Snow - To be determined. The MXV4s were awful, and I felt the traction control coming on many times. Handling - Not as precise as MXV4s but still very good. Ride Comfort - Very good. The tires seem to be a bit softer, and absorbs more bumps better. Please check tire pressure carefully as a few PSI can make the difference. Noise level - In the beginning the tire has tiny little pieces that stick out of the tire. These wear off in a couple hundred miles and it is noticably quieter. Nothing was as quiet as the MXV4, but I'm willing to sacrafice some noise. Treadwear - Time will tell. Rolling resistance - Very good Value - Excellent at less than 1/2 the cost of Michelins!"

I don't know how this tire got an A rating for traction. As for the wear, they're worn out after only 22k miles. Come on! "

The Falkens are much better on snow, and unbeleivable on wet pavement. The Falkens handle standing water like no other tire I've driven."

Mr Big"2001 Ford Taurus SEL Replaced manufactures Continental with the ZIEX ZE-512(60). They are unbelievable. Excellent on dry, wet and snow also. A "5" on all accounts."

Rick"Installed these tires on a Chrysler Sebring LXI, size 215x50x17, replacing Goodyear Eagle RSA's. This is a much better tire at a much better price. Handling is more responsive and tire holds it's pressure. The RSA's would lose 5 psi within 14-21 days! I had two blow outs for no apparent reason, but I suspect low air pressure. This tire is very stable and worth every penny after 12,000 miles."

Swedish Tank"I had Pirelli P6 (stock), Bridgestone RE950, Dunlop SP5000 on my car before and the Falken ZE512 is the best so far. The 512 provides better grip in the wet than SP5000. The dry grip is about the same on these two tires. The P6 sucks and I highly recommend you guys not getting it because it has no grip in dry and wet. One tire even had a bubble after 2000km. RE950 is ok expect the tire noise is annoying. SP5000 is a class higher in quality than the RE950 in every different field."

95 Altima DallasTX"Had many different tires, Michelin Energy MXV4 which were very bad in wet conditions and had no tread left just after 20K, Dunlop's, FISK and more. These tires handle better and are much smother riding and very quite. Wet conditions do not seem to affect the traction much at all. Very Good Tire. I will continue purchasing these tires."
