Good:
Water traction is pretty good and I have not had any real issues in rain
Extreme stiff sidewall with ultra-rating means they handle the twisties very well

Bad:
Noisy
Ultra Perf = poor tread life
Follows truckers ruts pretty bad
For a all season they are absolutely horrible if there is a snow flake on the road
Stiff sidewall makes them hard to deal with on rough roads

The car feels a ton better now (of course that could just be the fact that my tires have tread again...). Both ride quality and handling/responsiveness are increased. I haven't driven in wet or snow yet, though. The tread pattern looks like it should provide much better wet traction than my old tires.

I've never run Falken tires before, so I'm not sure what to expect as they see more and more use. It was either these or a set of Toyo Proxes all-seasons that would have been almost $200 more, so I went with these. So far I don't regret it.

Also, this is the first time I've ever run directional tires on any of my cars. Anything I should do differently (aside from not rotating them so they're backward...)?

One other not-so-hot side effect of these new tires is that I'm starting to feel how badly I need rear shocks. With my old tires, the back end would just come loose while turning under heavy braking. With the new ones, they stick like glue and the trunk goes all over the place. Fun...

Each tire has their own strong and weak points.

The GT3 looks WAY better the the GTR, that plus when women recognize a Porsche symbol their panties drop... When she recognizes a Nissan symbol, her panties turn into a chastity belt...

oh yeah, for those that don't know, i had to sell my wheels.

Just don't go putting fugly hubcaps on them.

I'm SOOO mad they quite making them because I need two new ones and don't want to buy all new tires yet...luckily winter is here!!

Winter tires on stock rims soon!!

That sucks. Black steelies actually don't look bad, though. I considered getting a set for my car just for the stealth look (since my stock wheels are a little scarred anyway). It's hard to find glossy black ones in FWD offsets, though. Just don't go putting fugly hubcaps on them.

I like the look of gloss steelies with chromed lugs.

Just got a set of Falken Ziex ZE 512s put on friday. The car feels a ton better now (of course that could just be the fact that my tires have tread again...). Both ride quality and handling/responsiveness are increased. I haven't driven in wet or snow yet, though. The tread pattern looks like it should provide much better wet traction than my old tires.

Oh and the Falken's have VERY good traction IMO and I've never had a problem in the water. As for the snow I've only drove them once in the snow but when I did I tried everything I could to get them to break loose to no avail. Granted it was rather slushy conditions...I was still impressed. You shouldn't have to do anything other than make sure you don't put them on backwards like you said!!

I've never heard a peep from mine...not even a squeal around sharp turns.

What kind are you running??

Your Falken's are loud?? I've never heard a peep from mine...not even a squeal around sharp turns. What kind are you running??

They are ZIEX ZE 512 with 6.5 - 7 /32nd of tread

I've never heard anything...well that I noticed anyway.

Is it like a humming?? or a howl??

I'm actually really disappointed that they discontinued the 512's.
