Does anybody have any experience with the Falken Ziex Ze 512? I'm looking for new all seasons. Or should I just go with ASXs from tirerack?

i bought these. I had them for about 30k miles. They have great grip and wet traction except for the first 500 miles (felt soft and greasy, but after the initial wear they were awesome). Mine need to be replaced now, but that's due to heavy camber wear and about 9000 miles in 2 weeks. at about $40/tire you can't go wrong, i'd buy them again if i needed a cheap tire.

opps, sorry, $60 - still pretty damn cheap (205/50/WR15)

i do recall they used to be $47 when i purchsed them - but they were just introduced to the market, i was one of the first people to have them. 2 reviews on tirerack when i first bought them.

nice, i wish i had some spare money right now... RT-615's and the 'Kooks look tempting..

Damn those are good prices! Wish I had seen that before picking up my Kumho MXs from tirerack...

Anyone have any experience with the Falken rt615's and the Hankook z212's? Might pick up a set of these for the auto-x season, but don't know which ones to go with.

Falken is the best street tire you can go with for Autox

yeah, that's what I've always heard. edge racing seems to think that the z212's could be comparable to the rt615's and seeing as how they are less expensive i was just wondering if anyone had any experience with them. eh, i'll probably just stick with Falkens cause i know for sure that they're sweet.

they are comparable, but not quite as good.
