Falken Ziex ZE-512 Performance Tire

Pros: Excellent treadwear, price, design, warranty
Cons: Heavy, Noise issues

I purchased a set of Falken ZE-512s 215/40/17s for my 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe as a replacement for the worn-out Pirelli tires that came with this car when I purchased it. Admittedly, the price of these tires played the biggest role in my ...

Pros: Quiet, high-grip, rim protector, inexpensive
Cons: Wish the 50 series tires would be rated for 60K miles.

I want to also acknowledge and thank both Scmrak and Nad_Masters for being able to add this tire onto the Epinions website. I have been waiting for a while to express my views about this tire. This tire is classified as an All-Seasons Performance tire. ...

Pros: Sticky for an All-Season tire, low price
Cons: Winters can still be scary - but then again, I have 245whp to the front.

My original review was actually put under "Falken Zeix ZE-502" because there wasn't a spot for Falken's Ziex ZE-512 in ePinions. It seems to be a replacement for the ZE-502. However, the tread design is very similar, and only seem to be slightly ...

Pros: Quiet, aggressive looking, good handling
Cons: Gives up without notice in tight turns

I got the tires on my Acura TSX replaced earlier this month. The OEM Michelin Pilot HX MXM4’s in the rear were fairly bald after 33,400 miles. I could feel the rear give way in tight turns. Also, during normal driving, the tires were noisy, especially on ...

Pros: low price and very respectable wear, nice looking low profile design
Cons: noisier than the competition especially on rough or grooved pavement

I needed to replace the performance tires on my 2002 nissan maxima SE and did alot of shopping tires to decide what tire to buy. I have used many different performance tires ranging from: goodyear, Michelin, bridgestone, Perelli, etc. but had never even ...

Pros: Excellent traction in dry/wet conditions, above average in snow conditions, road noise, price
Cons: None

I have the Falken Ziex 512 on a 2002 Mazda Protégé and a 2003 Subaru Forester. I came upon the Falken tire as a replacement for the Dunlop 5000’s on my Protégé. The car has an odd tire size, and the “regular” brands did not have a tire that ...

Pros: Low price, good traction, decent ride
Cons: Limited tread life, difficulty in keeping the tires balanced.

I purchased a set of Falken Ziex ZE-512 tires to replace the worn out Goodyears on my 2004 Toyota Camry last winter and now after 40,000 miles I feel qualified to give a thorough report on these tires. First off, I bought these tires from Discount ...

Pros: price, snow handling, comfortable ride, 60K warranty
Cons: handling is average.

I put these on my 2003 accord ex in Nov 2005 (205/60 HR16) replacing OEM Michelin MXV4 Energy. I was not looking for the greatest performance, just an all season good in all categories at a fair price. I saw some good reviews here for this tire and ...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: quality

I did a lot of research before buying a set of tires for my 2003 Maxima SE and I have to say I was disappointed with the quality levels for this tire. I went from replacing the stock Bridgestone Potenzas to this tire and have been experiencing a lot of ...

Pros: Price and performance.
Cons: Wear way too fast, poor/no warranty support.

Purchased 4 Falken Ziex-512B 225/60R tires, had a quality shop perform a 4 wheel alignment, and mount and balance the tires. 5,000 miles later, rotated tires with oil change. 7,000 miles, on next rotation with oil change, my mechanic says "your ...

Pros: Handling, wet weather performance, value / price
Cons: Slightly noisier, unknown tread life

I’ll direct my remarks about this tire to my specific situation. I was looking for a replacement to the Michelin MXV4 Plus Energy tires that came as original equipment on my 2002 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder. About my car and the way it is driven; This car ...

Pros: Great tire.
Cons: None found yet.

Background: Had to replace the tires on our 2001 Chrysler T&C minivan. The handling on the OE Michelin MX4 tires has been marginal when dry, and a joke in everything else since day-1. Went in search of a good replacement tire, only to find they ...

Pros: Great performance, wear, appearance and value.
Cons: Tend to tramline on cement highway corduroy.

I needed to replace the Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tires on my '98 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro but didn't want to spend in excess of $200 per tire for a high performance brand (Michelin) so, I found these as a great deal through both TireRack.com and Discount ...

Pros: wet grip, snow grip, dry grip, handling, quiet, smooth,treads stay sticky soft
Cons: nothing, (new) a bit too vulnerable to flats

I have a Suzuki XL-7 (my parents) and for a 12 year old kid I dont usually think about tires but I've made an exception. The XL-7 my parents own has 4WD but since our Bridgestone dueler h/t D687 went bald we chose this tire. This seems like such a great ...

Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, good handling on wet/dry roads
Cons: So far, there are no cons.

I was facing an expensive dilemma with my Lexus ES300. In November 2000, I had four Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires installed on my car. After roughly 25,000 miles the tires were completely bald. The original tires cost over $700 and I couldn't see ...
