+1 falken. I had a set of the 950's once and I didn't like them.

I don't have any experience with that particular falken, although I do with the azenis's. They're a great tire.

Get a real bridgestone tire?

Re 040, or my favorite

Re750, wet, dry.....snow...whtever.

You want a real tire.......... go with the Bridgestone S-03 Pole position.

cheap good tires are the kuhmo ecsta mx .... have had great luck with these on a 400rwhp s14, also good luck with the BFG ta kdw2, check them out.

+1 for the Falkens, i'm running Z512's, soooooooooo sticky (for cheap tires). Falken FTW

Anything with Ziex on it has zero traction. The only tire worth owning from Falken is the RT615 or the older 215's.

Anyone who thinks the Ziex have any real ability just hasn't driven on a sticky tire.

That's what I was about to say, hahahaha. However, the new Falken 451's are something to consider... it's all about the driver - I met one of the fastest regional autox drivers and he wanted to test out the 451's, still pretty new condition - ran the absolute fastest in wet (most everyone else had either the 615's or 215's), and ran nearly on par w/ the fastest (corvettes, miatas, etc) during dry. Competition wise, there have been several regional and national champions who run the 451's shaved - affordable, and sticky - real sticky, not "ziex sticky". Those are gonna be my next tire.

Ppl who are saying +1 on Falken, are you saying Falken the brand, or actually the ziex???

Ziex don't have great traction in wet or dry... they are just a cheap affordable tire for someone to say "yea, I have Falkens" on the internet.

Basically, any Potenza > Falken Ziex.
