Default Falken Ziex ZE912 tires

I just wanted to write up a lil review on these tires. Just to let u guys know these are ultra high performance all season tires and come in all different sizes.

The setup I have is on a 95 civic sedan. I was running oem 13's on this car and the treads are almost gone (great ride comfort and low road noise). So i decided to go up in size of rims and tires. Went up to 17in enkei or52 + falken ze 512 (prior version of the new 912) and had the best gripping performance i ever had. Then the 17's were really dragging my fuel economy down, harsh ride, and lots of road noise. Found this out when i got a new job and have to drive all highway 80mi both ways so i decided to downsize and go with 15 instead.

The new setup is to go lightweight wheels that i can afford so i have a packaged in 5Zigen 195/50 15 + falken ze912 and i am very pleased with them. Only have them for about 2 days and still in the break in period, but wow i must say for performance tires these are great. Good performance, handling, comfort, and not tat bad for road noise either. But most of these days have been sunny so i haven't tried it in the rain or snow.

So i would recommend these tires to anyone looking for great value ultra high performance all season tires. Also i forgot to mention that they weight about 19.2lbs for 15in. That is probably the only down fall about these tires is they weight a lot. But rotating these tires is easy unlike the ze512 which are directional, these are asymmetric.

I hope this might help sum who are looking for new all season tires.
