Please provide more info... what other tires have you tried? what is your driving style? do you auto-x? how is the rode noise? How is ride quality? Can you tell if they have a stiff sidewall? What air pressure are you running front/rear?
Driving style ranges from mild and calm to aggressive and shifty on the tranny.
The tires I have tried otherwise are Kumho's given to me from the honda dealership (They sucked ass)
I also tried some tires called Cooper super touring but those were 60 series on my old accord.
I dont auto x.
The rode noise is not too bad at all considering that my 10 yr old weatherstripping makes more noise at around 70mph than the tires.
Ride quality is great compared to the tires I used to run; they grip well and corner well for me.
I wouldnt know a stiff sidewall from a soft one.......
Air pressure i've been told is set 10psi down from the max; the guy at my tire shop mounted and filled them.
Rain grip is great; I am usually pretty cautious in the rain and never try to find out what the limit is on the gripping force because well...i dont feel like losing control but from the times i've had to hit the brakes harder than normal, or swerve or accelerate from a stop the tires did quite well.
I have had to go from a 45mph roll to a stop at a red light cam here in so cal in the rain. The tires did great but the abs kinda fucked it all up and landed me at the 2nd limit line.
I HAVE the Falken Ziex 512
As far as on dry ground, the falkens grip pretty darn good for the stuff i've had to encounter such as accident avoidance, hard braking from 80-100mph and swerving when I needed to. They never lost grip but did screech a couple times but that was a diff story and most of the time on purpose because i was pushing it a bit harder than I should have.
