Well its time for my fiancee (who is into cars and will possibly do an auto-x or 2 this season) to purchase a set of tires for her 96 civic. We have been looking at the Falken's listed above and just wanted a few REAL user opinions. To give you a rundown of driving style I would say moderate to aggressive with an occasional drive in the snow. Any input would be helpful. TIA

 

they suck in the snow, they're a very hard tire and just dont grip very well in the try. Try bridgestone potenza RE950 if you see occasional snow use.

 

I have a set in St. Louis. They work in the snow but they are far from a snow tire. They are good in the dry and the wet. Overall for my winter all season I like them. I know someone with the 502 (?) and he likes those as well. I don't know how they will be in the summer heat or for autocross but, for what I use them for, winter all seasons that do see some snow I like them.

 

Thanks for the opinions guys. MattG where you at in STL? Throw me a PM.

 

I've got a set waiting to go on my rims as all season tires. I'll use te Azenis for Summer duty.

 

They're junk. The Dunlop SP Sport A2 is a way better all around choice IMHO.

Any tires that are decent and in that Falken Ziex price range? Thanks again guys.

 

how much do you want to spend? Yokohama, Bridgestone both make good all-season tires.

 

Id say $50-$60/tire. Give or take. TIA
