I finally got some new tires for my hoo ride

195/60/15 Falken Ziex

$180 mounted/balanced

Haven't really done any driving on em yet, just got em put on after work tonight and drove home.

Anybody have any opinions on these tires? I just needed to replace my weak kumho 732's and the price was right.

 

180 for all 4? :thinking:

thats 45 bucks each, mounted & balanced...sounds like you got a pretty good deal. I've heard good things about em...they aren't as grippy as the azenzis, but they get the job done

 

I think that Falken's are pretty good for the money. I have the 512's and they held up really well in wet/dry situations. Though they're no racing tire, they perform better than your standard passenger tire that probably would've costed more.

 

yep, $180 for all 4 mounted and balanced. I've been going to this tire shop for while now, and I refer a little bit of business to him so he hooked me up. He tried selling me on kumho's but they were similar to the 732's I had so I talked him into letting me have the Falkens for the same price


That's what I got, the 512's. I just wanted something a little better than the kumho's and for $180 for the set I had to give em a shot.

 

yeah I have the 715's also and I love the ride that I get with them...smooth! And they DO seem to hold up very well in the wet/dry seasons.

 

nice. good to hear all the good news about these tires. This was totally unlike me to buy something w/o doing my homework first, but the price seemed too good to pass and I didn't exactly have time to shop around cause my rear tire was losing half of it's pressure daily, not to mention the uneven wear due to no camber kith: That's next, don't wanna mess up these tires.

 

I have Ziex on my daily driver EP3.

They seem to be a very good buy, and have dry handling capabilities beyond what most all-weather tyres offer.

 

I was going to get the falken 512s mounted on my 17s as a package but the place i purchased the wheels from were out of them. I did alot of research and they did get fairly good reviews. Instead, i got some continental contiextreme contacts from tirerack which by the way are exceptionally good dry/wet tires as well.

But for that price.....thats a steal :thumbup:

 

cool rich, ur gonna need those new tires when the autocross starts up in a few months.

 

Keep em coming:thumbup:

I'm gonna go out in a little bit and do some driving around, see how they feel.
