My Falken Ziex's are great all around... imo. Most important is the good rain grip.

I have them on my 15's [205\50\15]

I have Yokohama AVS ES100 205/50/15 on my 15x6.5" rotas... they are pretty damn nice tires. Pretty good $$ though.. I'm just gonna go with something cheap next time though...Falken Ziex's or something. Until I have enough money to buy Azeni Sports every 15,000 miles......

U will be fine in the rain with falkens (azenis) if u don't drive like a jackass. Im not saying you drive like one.. just sayin if you do in the rain you might regret it.

I had these on my old wheels very good tire for the price and they held to the road very nice.. U can only get them at discount tire though.. I think they were around 65 bucks a piece... You defiantly can't go wrong with the yk420s

My bud has Falken Ziex and he never gets any traction in the rain.. horrible! And in the dry, they make him lose enough grip to chirp off launch and from first to second.. On a DX Automatic!

Falken Ziex, I'm pretty surprised that people are actually recomending Azenis's for all weather tires. I would love to see the man who can get around in some snow on a set of azenis's. If you get azenis's under the impression that they are a good "all weather" tire you will be horribly dissapointed. I've got a buddy who drives on Kumho ASX's and is pretty happy with them.

Only one tire will give you outstanding performance all year round, wet or dry... Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position.

yea try those in the snow and let me know. all summer tires should handle the rain decently but they cannot handle snow.
for a bargain performance all season, i would recommend falken ziex 512's or kumho asx.

They are amazing, rain or shine. I've slammed my brakes on in the rain, and I stopped on a dime.

Whoops, I didn't notice he was in NY. I live in the Bay Area in Cali, where it doesn't snow at all.

$45 is a pretty good deal. I usually see them online for like $70 each.
