does anyone know anything about the falken ziex 512's...im thinkin of gettin them for my 14"s...how are they with gripping...like when i launch are they gonna spin like hell like my stock firestones...and will they grip better around turns...

also...other than azenis...does anyone have any recomendations for 14" wheels other than the ziex's

 

bump cuz i wanna order my damn tires

 

I had the Ziex's on my 18's. They gripped pretty good, lasted pretty good, were great in the rain. Not exactly a performance tire, but they worked great for an all-season car and didn't do bad when driving "spiritedly".

 

did they help u on launch?

 

I just barely got some Ziex's installed on my 14" Si rims. I like 'em, but they're mostly a 'good bang for your buck' type of tire. It's a performance all-season tire, very durable, lightweight and they have pretty good grip - but I've had better. I would guess that these compare very well to the famous Kumho 712's, but the rubber might not be quite as soft. In the end, good tires, but I would choose something else for when I get into autocross.

 

I never really raced on them, but they were def. better than whatever the heck I had on there before!
