Falken Ziex tires? Hey guys, just wondering what everyone thinks about the Falken Ziex ZE-502 tires? I'm trying to stay cheap right now and save up for some nice DR's but just looking for a nice all-round tire that can be driven in all summer conditions, no winter.

I have the Falken Ziex ZE512. I only have about 800 miles on them so far but i love em. Great in the rain. Great on dry pavement. Really nice all around tire. They hook pretty decently for a street tire IMO as well.
Hit up DTD. I got em for $110 a tire shipped.

I had a set of falkens a while back, they were the worst tires I've ever had. The side wall on them was a joke and I'll never buy another falken tire.
Toyo makes some real nice tires.

I have a set of the Falken ZE512 in 245/50/16...I got them from discounttire.com for i beleive $74 per tire with free shipping...I like them for what I payed, they are obviously not as good as a more expensive tire, but I wanted something cheap that would last over 15k miles...and these tires fit what I wanted.
Overall they are a pretty good tire...I have about 5k miles on mine and they do real good in the rain and are pretty decent on dry pavement for traction.

I got the Falken, the 451s, so far they've been good, I had Falkens before (87 IROC) and they lasted along time, and gave a good ride, decent traction too. Tho not as stout as an LS1, a TPI 350 has a good amount of low end torque, and the tires held up to that pretty well (no DR, but pretty good for a street tire)

Thanks guys, I'm just debating on a few cheap options right now. Getting ready to start a new job and don't have the $$ to buy the rim/tire combo I want yet but my tires are **** and I need something that'll get me around until I can get the combo I want.
