Re: Falken Ziex ZE-512 are they good?

I have these tires on my Audi allroad for about 1,000 miles now. I love them. In the dry and in rain they grip as well as my Michelin Pilot Sports A/S did at half the price. They are also quiter. I can't speak for their snow capabilities yet. There are many positive comments on these at www.audiworld.com.

I ordered them for the Evo (for winter use) from Edge Racing for $93/tire shipped and waiting for them to come in.

As you may know these were rated #1 high performance all season by Consumer Reports this year.

I have these on my Evo and they do well in the rain, they are quiet and the thread count is 360 so they should last a while. On the other hand, they don't hold the road nearly as well as the Advans when being pushed to the limit and I've lost some of the quick steering response. I probably won't get another set of these but they do serve their purpose I guess. I would go with the Azenis Sport instead, but that's just me...

NOOO, I had those and they SUCK! No dry traction at all on my Talon TSi.

As far as the Azenis sport, those are not all seasons by any means, and I hear they are pretty bad in teh rain. For dry traction tho, they cant be beat for the price. Im also considering the 512s for winter
