Title: New Tires?
Post by: 318kid on January 22, 2008, 04:11:55 PM

Does anybody have any experience with Falkens Ziex ZE-912? I have the ZE-512's and love them and this is the predecessor, but I'm just wondering if anyone has had first hand experience. Thanks

Cool! Are the side walls pretty stiff? Does it give you feedback while your driving or does it feel like a sponge? Are you running 195/65/14? I think I may go wider to like 205/60/14 do you think that would be good? Thanks

yes, feedback,195's, i considered 205's but it is not much of a difference, and I tend to prefer a skinnier street tire verses one that is squeezed onto a small rim. R-comps on the other hand, put as much tire on as you can.

I had 205/60-14 Yokohama's on basketweaves and they fit very well. I went through two sets over a four year period.
