Default Falken Ziex-512 any good for daily driver?

I read the two threads that were archived, but it seems like the negative posts were from people that wanted them to be a summer tire, and not what they are meant to be: an all season tire.

I'm looking for something for the winter and spring until the weather is nice enough for the Azenis again. Anyone have any input on the Ziex for daily driving and all season capability? I want something I can drive in the rain, or even the occasional snow, without too much drama.

I had them and they suck in the snow. Decent for a summer tire.

I had them too and they sucked in the wet. It made my R feel unlike an R in the wet. The Falken GRB FK451 was much better but faster wearing.

I have them right now. Yea they suck *** but I got them because it lasts long which is what I need (70 miles a day). Tread wear is 360 and the tire is cheap. The next tire im getting is most likely the Kumho 712's. Good all weather and same tread wear as the ziex.
