what are your views on this tire?

 

i know a few people that run these, some say good - some say they almost killed them... idk, in my opinion i would get azenis, they are the same price right?

 

I run them at 195-55-15 and they are good all around tires. Good treadlife and wet/dry performance, i will be buy them again, next imma try 205-50-15.

 

Decent tires. Not very grippy though.

 

im looking to do a few autocrosses and some drag racing but i have to travel 100-200 miles one way to autocross and drag race. im debating from the Falken Ziex 512 or azenis but azensi dont have good tread wear so i dont know?

 

I've had the ziex 512's before on my slip streams and they did me well both auto-x, drag, and daily driving. They aren't that expensive either which in my book is always good

I run them. I got 28k on my last set. Not to bad for a turbo car. They arent as grippy as the azenis, but i also do a lot of driving. I average 100-200 miles one way depending on the track i go to. I just got my second set for 228 shipped from discount tire direct. 195/50/15's.

 

i heard it's good. well, that's from a comsumer report thing but never tried it in person.

 

My dad runs them on 205 40 17, and he loves them, lasting tread.

I'm riding these tires right now and have had the for about 3 or 4 months. They are great. They grab the road really good, I have no more wheel spin now. They are excellent in rain and unlike azenis, they will not kill you in the snow either. I ride these all year round and they are great. They get a A+ from me. Get these if you drive in the snow or rain. If you are in a place where it never snows or rains, get the azenis. Or just don't drive your car when it rains or snows like most people do

Basicly, falken ziex is for daily drivers and occasional fun cars. Azenis are for people who have a car thats only used as a racing/comp. Or who have a spare set of wheels for the bad conditions. Basicly all azenis are is a slick tire with some wide channels for some water handling, but not much.

 

I run 205/50/15 on my si and i'm pretty satisfied w/ the quality. The tires are one the most inexpensive and also has adequet handling capabilities. I like them better than the kuhmo ecsta 712's.

 

Yeah my slips are wrapped in 205/45/16 and I think they grip pretty well. Not bad tires, and they are better in the rain than azenis so

 

I ran the Ziex, then the Azenis...

my opinion: I will not buy the Ziex again.

 

i had the ziex 512 on hammers. worked well for me (wet & dry).

 

i am giving away a set of 16" ziex's...... kinda tall for a civic though, 225/50-16. great for burnouts though
