I had Falken's on my 96 Z28. They looked just like those but may have been a different compound. I HATED them. They were as hard as hockey pucks and broke loose with the slightest mash of the go pedal. I wasn't into cornering much at the time cause I was 16 and still learning to limits of the car, but I know they sucked *** in a straight line and in the rain.
