I accidently chose nittos 
if you roll on nittos(not the street slicks) you may as well be riding on stone wheels like the flintstones.

Nittos are great for daily drivin!! m BUT THATS IT!!!! daily driving...getting you to and back from work....NOTHING ELSE....so don't talk trash about a tire.....
I rode on nt450's for ever a year....no signs of a bad tire.....didn't even look wore....I loved that tire......lasted me until I traded the rims with tires on them......
If you want performance, get something else...but nittos are okay...

I have those Falkens
I think they are a great all-season performance tire. I am more than pleased with them, they are inexpensive, and have great treadlife, and perform very well, im currently on my 2nd set. I have 195-55-15s.

What a Shame. I am selling or was seilling my Azenis for all 4 for 150, I wish I had found you earlier. There like a month old and have less than 2k on them.

i had 15 inch rotas with nitto 450s and they were good tires all around. handled camber well and lasted thru many many burnouts. i just bought falken ziex's mounted on 98 type r wheels and im already seeing camber wear. besides that ziexs look good sound good and handle turns well.

I have the Falken Ziex on my EP3 daily driver and, for whatever my opinon's worth, I think they're a great buy.
They've surprised me a few times, evidently holding in some manoeuvres almost as well as the celebrated Azenis would.

1. <u>Why</u> don't you like the Ziex?
2. There's a pretty huge jump between the Ziex and an R compound tyre. Why would you recommend someone jump from an all weather tyre to an R compound tyre?

IMHO, they're nice, cheap tyres.
IMHO, I'd still go w/the Falken Ziex, for whatever my humble opinion's worth.
