Cons: Ice. the enemy of these tires in my car.not as bad as many i've driven.

I bought these tires about 2 months ago and have put around 1500 miles on them so far. i love them! they are better in the wet than my old tires were in the dry! I've driven them in all kinds of conditions ranging from chip and seal, to dry asphalt, ...

I've now had these tires on two vehicles: A 2002 VW Jetta Wagon (with sport suspension), and a 1994 BMW 740i. Generally speaking, these tires are a great value, and perform better than comparably priced tires. Results on the VW Jetta Wagon GLS: ...

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: 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: 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: 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 ...

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: 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: 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: Price, Treadwear Rating 420, Traction A, Temperature A Best in it's class!
Cons: Not many...Not enough dealers in Maryland..only Sears so far.

These Ziex-512's 225-60-16 tires have performed extremely well on my 2001 Dodge Intrepid ES in all types of weather. I also had the same results on my Maxima. Keep in mind that it is important to rotate these tires according to Manufacturer-4,500-5,000 ...

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: 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: 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 ...
