Anyone have experience with Falken ZE-912's?

I am looking for a set of all season tires and stumbled across the Falken ZE-912. It seems like a good deal at $250 shipped for all 4....205/60/15.

Anyone have any experience with these tires?

Thanks in advance

Uh, I have the FK452's and they are probably the best bang for the buck tire around. I've run more expensive tires in the past and in some cases they are WORSE, so i'd check your sources

I have the 912's on my stockies, they're decent. I'd give them a solid 7/10...I just bought them to get me through 3 months of winter till my 19's go back on in April. The sidewall is a bit soft, but they ride nice and are super quiet! Excellent in the rain as well....way better than the stock Turanzas that cost almost 2x as much!

I have Falkens on my CLS (not sure of the model) but they were awesome year round. I loved them.

I had the Falken ziex 512's on my 03 Maxima, and they were an awesome value. Many maxima owners used these as an alternative to the rather expensive OE bridgestone Potenza's.

Decent in snow, obviously not as good as dedicated snow tires, but they will do the job when you drive carefully.

Mine wore down rather quick, other than that they were alright, not a jack at any trade. No snow here so I can't mention about how they do in that.

I had them on my stock Accord wheels. To be perfectly honest with you since I did tons of research on them, DO NOT buy them if you're planning on running them in snow. I read over and over that they should be considered more Summer Tires than All Seasons. I read even in light snow dusting they suck. For me living in Arizona it wasn't an issue. On dry pavement and in rain they were excellent.
