Thread: Falken ziex ze-512's

Hey everyone,

I am loking for some new tires at a good price and I came acroos these at discount tire.com

Anyone have these and how are they quality wise?

Thank you in advance!

you sure they are 512's? those are old news and they dont make them any more unless its old stock? any who they are fairly loud but ok. the ZE-912's are where the money is at. those are some bass ass all seasons for the money. very quiet and fairly sticky. they wont win you any races tho.

I liked the 512 and did nto think they were noisy. The new 9 series is the replacement and they are nice as well.

^ I'm not looking to win races, I just want an all 'round good , affordable all season tire.

I will take all of this into consideration, Thanks

I had a set on my old SE-R. I liked them a lot for year-round use; they're not the stickiest for track/backroads, but for rain/snow/general usage they were nice. They were pretty quiet too.

I have the 912s now on my Mazda, and they seem to be just as good so far.

I like them, and I thought they were still made? I see them all over the place.

As far as I know they are still made, at least most sites still sell them.

512's are great tires but I heard they tend they can have weird wear, even if properly inflated. 912's are a newer probably much better choice . I'll be getting 912's for boost

I´m on my second set of 512s now. Very nice tire, smooth, not noisy and holds pretty well on wet. The huge rim protector is a plus.

Yes I love the rim protector on them. There not to bad in the snow either. Dry I really didn't have a problem with them on my N/A b14. Wet they did well also. I'm gonna order them for my 16's here in a next few weeks for my turbo car, and that should be about 270whp so I'm hoping they'll hold up pretty decent. I pulled a 2.2 60' with them at the track also.

I run the 912s and they are very good on dry and good on wet. For daily driving they are the best bang for the buck. I easily light them up in first with my VE so ill be going with some hankook RS-2s as my next set of tires.
