Anyone riding on falken ZE-912/ZE-512 tires? yes i searched -_-, I think these tires have what Im looking for but I want opinions Options

hey everyone, I've been doing alot of research on tires lately and I think i've settled on falken ZE-912/ZE-512 tires. According to the interwebs, the falkens are UHP tires that wont kill me when it snows. They seem to offer really good performance (z rated) and tread life but tend to be noisy. I'm a bit suspicious because they sound too good to be true, and their description on falkens website simply gushes about their technical prowess blah blah blah. I've read reviews all over the place BUT i know that most online reviews suck because the reviewers hadn't given the tire any time to break in. Thats why i want to see if anyone here has had these tires for an extended period of time. Do they really grip that well? How much worse do they make our already bad road noise prob? What is snow traction like? Is it true that the sidewall is actually softer (IE handle worse) than on the older 512's?


Im stuck between choosing these falkens a set of toyo proxes or khumo ecstas. I've had the proxes before on a different car and they were AMAMZING even when almost worn out. help me out here

hey 6strngs well thanks for da help. And also ya ive been wanting to ask how much the tire pressure for the tires need to be at when you get upgraded tires and u answered it without me even asking. The tires im getting are 215/45/17. So you say 35 psi is a good enough pressure with a balance between handling and good mpg. I have my car lowered on tanabe df210's and the tire size that i have wont rub on anything right?? im pretty sure it wont but just wanna make sure.

I'll look into getting a digital psi gauge.

Wasnt able to order those wheels with the package from miami. They are sold out of them and wont restock for another month . I plan on looking for shops around here that have motegi dp6, motegi mr7, or motegi ff7. I really like any of these wheels and i really like how they the dp6 look on the celica. they are similar to the raze r74, 6 spoke rim
