Default Falken 512's VS Falken 912's

Is there a big difference in the Falken 512's and 912's?


Thanks

I am just looking for some good street tires that will last. These seem to have a good review but I wanted to see if anyone has any first hand experience.

i heard the ziex aren't that great. I have the 451's for my street tires and they are pretty good and last. The 451's are discounted so you might have to get the 452 with 300 TW instead of 280.

yeah the 912s will be good for long lasting tires, but you will sacrifice performance for sure. They're meant for regular passenger tires and not meant for performance at all.

So in short Ziex's aren't the way to go? What about the Azenis?

Azenis are very much for peformance and dry traction. The FK452 would be a good compromise/middle ground between the 912 and the RT615. If you want to do some good comparisons, go to www.1010tires.com and look at the rating system they have. It'll give you a good idea of how each tire will perform and what kind of driving they are aimed at.
