Falken Tires

[PlatMS6]

Guys what do you know about Falken Tires....most stores don\\\'t carry them, however their reviews look good as does their price.

right now im looking at a set of Falken ZIEX ZE-512 in 195/65/15, only looking to get 2, might get 4...gotta get another look at the oem toyos

does anyone have any thoughts on these?

Hey, I had these tires on my last car (turbocharged Civic) and I loved them. They were super sticky, reasonably priced, and lasted me three summers. Having said that, I found them to be a pretty noisy tire compared to other high performance tires on the market.

Edit: I can likely get you a pretty good deal on these tires locally if you want (Scarborough)

how noisy are they? moreso than winter tires?

For me, they started off not so loud, but as the tread began to wear, they became progressively louder. I know when I sold the car they were louder than my winters (Nokians).
