I have till the end of the day to decide on what brand tires to go with for my 89 CRX SI w/ b16 swap. This is a winter car so I need some all season tires that are good in the cold weather, wet, and snow. Because of the deal tires.com has right now I have narrowed it down to the following tires.

1. Falken Ziex ZE-912

2. Nitto NT 450 Extreme Performance

3. Hankook Ventus HRII H405

4. Falken Ziex ZE-512

The size will be 195/50R-15

 

Goodyear GT-HR, Integrity, etc.

 

If you have expensive winter wheels, you can't go wrong with the Ziex and it's rim protector. They're also good in the winter but NOTHING beats a set of dedicated winter tires.

Yep

 

I thought my Falken 512s were just fine for an all season tire. I had 205/45/16's on some GT3s. The dry traction sucks, but it's not really made for performance, just an all around tire that's good at a little bit of everything.

 

The CRX Si is my dedicated winter vehicle. The CRX allows me to keep this vehicle in the garage

Nice, I like the stockers in black.

 

I just ordered the ziex 912s for 140shipped...unbelievable y0

I didn't bother to research them though, they were the cheapest selection, and I'm selling my car

Thanks I do too. Before that I had TSW Thruxtons which I did not really care for.





The powdercoated black stock 18's get much more attention

 

get anything but the 450s. one of the worst tires ever! if price is a big factor, either of the falkens will do.

 

Ordered the Falken Ziex ZE-912...total came to 124 shipped...cant go wrong there.

Also got some wheels for the Grand Am GT.

 

Falken Azenis RT615.

 

I got 912's. $130 shipped

 

even if the nitto 450 tires were free they still wouldn't be worth it. you can find better tires at your local discount tire's recycle bin.

i'm not joking.

No kidding...those tires are the absolute worst

 

pfft... I would take NT450s over ZE512s any day.


To the OP: If this is for your dedicated winter car, why didn't you get snow tires?

ZE912s are terrible in powdered snow, but do okay when wet or slushy.

Cause I am in missouri and the chances of it snowing more than once are slim to none.
