Re: Tires

What are the tires for? Do you live in a warm all-year-round climate, a temperate climate, or almost-Canada? Are they for racing? Autocrossing? Daily driver? What size wheels are they going on? The stock wheels or upgrades?

Not knowing any information about your needs, the suggestion I would have for you if you were using them for daily driving in a climate similar to mine would be: Kumho Ecsta Supra tires. Your mileage may vary.

I live in Denver, so I'd like the tires to work somewhat in snow. I mainly drive my WRX to work and back but like to run up to the mountains to hike. I have the tires that the car had when I bought it at the dealership.

Consumer Reports rate Falken Ziex ZE 512 tires high. Do you agree?

Re: Tires

meh. They're aight from what I can tell. I don't know a whole lot about all-season tires, since I don't buy them. It only snows here about once a year, and then only for a day or two.

Personally, I'm partial to Continental and Yokohama tires.

I have the Falken Ziex 512's on my 02 wrx and I love them. They are a dramatic improvement over the stock RE-92s, and you will definitely notice a difference in handling and grip. They have decent treadwear, and I strongly reccommend them as an all-season tire.
