By the way, big ups to the new Falken Ziex 512s I wrapped those wheels with. Very quiet as far as road noise goes (compared to the garbage Ecstas I had on there), stiff sidewall and good grip during aggressive cornering. I got to test out their rain grip last night on the interstates in MD. They weren't AS good as everyone was hyping them up to be, but I was travelling about 75mph in a moderately heavy rainstorm and hydroplaning very minimally. They would catch grip shortly after I hit puddles, but I would say that they are only confidence inspiring in the rain at speeds below 65mph. Which is probably true for most tires hah...
