Falken

Has anyone out there tried out the Falken Ziex ZE-502 tires?

anyone at all?

never heard of em...

me either and i work at a shop and half our buisness is tires. :)

yeah i worked at a tire and lube shop and cant think of ever hearing about em...

I hope they aren't too bad cuz the sales guy talked me into buyin them.

good luck! :)

All my friends have them. They only cost 80 bucks a tire. Thats pretty cheap here for a Z rated tire. I am going to get them when my tires go bald. They work bad ass. One of my friends can stall his car up to 1900-2000rpms and launch without a burnout. There good even in water.

How are they in snow?

I think they are an all season but I don't think they would be very good in the snow. they look more like a summer tire to me.

when it comes to tires don't go cheap, just save up some extra $$$$ and get yourself some potenzas z rated tires those are good tires,there not that expensive

Z28 what kind of car does your friend have cuz I have them on my car now and they are pretty sticky but I still can't keep them from spinning for about 20-30 feet when just punching it from a stop, let alone stalling.

Its an 02 Z and he can stall it really high. Another friend of mine in a 99 TA can stall it to about 1700-1800rpm and launch with out a problem. He some times doesn't even have to warm them up on the street, he does at the track.

Your sure they use the Falken Ziex ZE-502 or 512.

Ill check if their 502 0r 512.

Once agian... how are they in rain and snow? :P cuz i'm considering them now.

Falkens are pretty awesome tires. I know a lot of autocross guys that use them. I think the Ziex are more street oriented, while the Azenis are race oriented.

One reason why not many people know about them is because the Azenis (the really good tires) don't come in our stock tire size. The smallest they come in is the 17" radius.

I've used them. Their big drawback is that they hydroplane as badly as the old Goodyear Gatorbacks.

holy hell what is up with bringing back old posts lately??

Good point.
