I went through two sets of rears on my 00 s2k.... i was suprised at how fast they wore....gone in about 8k miles.....no burn outs or autox

they seem to work pretty well in the rain, and have pretty decent grip in the dry....and quiet when driving

I have them on my Prelude and had the same problem. Wore very quickly...I did drive on them very aggressivly...but this was rediculous how quick they wore.

Hankook R-S2s (Z211) - Same price as the Falken, and a much better tire.

they are okay tires, pretty much the same as the old 712.

I am rocking a set right now and i can't wait to finish it off, okay traction, nothing great.

not the best buy for the money, just like most of the falken tires.

Grip for one. There has been a bunch of posts about this tire here and on s2ki.

Here is a review on them - it was the best of the "cheaper" tires.

Federal doesnt a size with the 595 that fits the ap1, however they do the right size in the 595EVO, but again not with the 595RS.
