New Tires....suggestions please..
#11
I have the Falken Ziex 512. I really like them. They are discontinued though so I wouldn't recommend buying them because if you run over a nail you'll have to order online to get a replacement and wait a week to get it. Then again you could always buy like 5 upfront and keep the spare in the garage.
The "replacement" for the 512 is the 912. The tread isn't exactly the same but performance is supposedly an improvement. They are a little bit harder rubber than the 512 though, so you'll have a little less grip hardness-wise (which could possibly be offset by the new tread design), but the tires should last much longer.
Based on my experience with Falken, i'll be going with the 912's next time I buy a full set of tires.
