I think they are tires.

They're pretty good. I hope you aren't here to get feedback now, after you've alread purchased them. Should've done your homework before you bought them.

But they will treat you too. Good all around tires. Good dry traction, and a wide groove to channel the water out of the way in the wet.

I have them, and I don't really like them that much. They don't seem to have to great of traction to them. The only good things about them, I think, are how long they last, and they do well in wet weather. But other than that, I don't much like them.

512's are very sweet. Rediculous wet traction too.

decent tires for their price....

definitely not my first choice in tires tho.

tread wear is beginning to show after a few hundred miles already. Probably wont last 15k for me.

pretty good tires , I have had them since last summer. The wet traction is pretty good and my car has a negative camber and they seem to hold up pretty good just gotta rotate them on time.

only tires I have had on my teg so far, handle farely well in the rain. Seem to be holding up well, had them for about 10k miles and still look like 3/4 tread or a little more.

The 712 is a great tire. There are stickier tires available but when it comes to all around it's tough to beat.

How well you like them depends on whether you ever take them to an autox or a track. The more you drive them harder the more you will learn to like them. They won't chunk on you when they get hot, give plenty of audible warning before they let go (they like to howl in the corners), and are great in the rain, my autox times in the rain were within a second of my dry times.

I got a whole season of autox (6 events, 8 runs per event) and a whole summer of driving out of them, about 15k miles total before I gave them to my brother with about half the tread left.

Run the tire pressure a little higher (I ran 36f, 34r) and the turn in is a bit quicker and by the time you are done with them you will be ready for something better.
