exactly like the title says, folks. anyone have good/bad experiences with this specific tire (195/55 VR15)? any input? thanks in advance fellas.

 

I have a set of those...I think they are the best bang for the buck tire for the street. They are really predictable

 

No 712 experience, but I tracked their new MX. Drop me a line if you have any questions.

As long as you use them for street use only. Don't use them for autocross or track. I have 205/50/VR15 Kumhos. I'm going to try out Falken Ziex for my next set of street tires.

 

Falken ziex suck man. I've had them for a while and they don't really grip that great

 

I used the 712s for autocrossing last year. Not bad tires. I use them now for daily driving and Azenis for competition.

 

I use the kumhos as my street tire and for autocross. Really a great tire that has great tread wear and great "wet" drivability. The only complaint I really have is that it could be stickier, such as the azenis, but nevertheless an excellent choice.

 

I had these tires for a while – I really liked them. As mentioned, great wet traction, too. These were probably the quietest performance tires I ever owned. However, don't try driving in the snow with them

 

those tires are the BEST BUY! Good dry traction.. better wet traction. you will never go wrong. They handled GREAT!

 

I had them to (Falken Ziex 205/40/17). In dry conditions, they weren't to bad but there was barely any traction in the rain. And forget the snow.

 

ha ha, thanx for the info. I already thought they would be terrible in winter. I'll just throw my steelies back on durrin winter.

Thanx a lot guys all your opinions are very helpful!

 

I've got 712's. I've had them since February. I thought they were only okay, till I got my new suspension, and realized that the 150,000 mile old stock suspension was a bigger impediment to traction than the tires.

I like them a lot more now.

 

If any of you guys in CA are interested in a set lemmie know, my father in law has a wholesale account at a shop local to me and they are the largest dealer/dist for kuhmo in southern ca, e mail me and i'll try to get back asap. Just my contribution to the site....any moderators looking? lol
