I liked the ZIEX512 when i had them on my 98. They lasted a good while but its a pretty hard rubber. Wet traction was very good, at least i had to try to make it break loose for them to spin. Dry traction was ok, better than the kuhmos i currently have.
Im trying the FK-451s next, its a softer compound, will report back when I get them on (week or so).

not a fan of them.
they were on my 98 when i bought it as well.
I had a blowout on I4 with one of these tires, and the sidewall schredded in less than 1 mile from blowout, to stopping.
The traction was alright, treadwear seemed decent, but im not a fan of these tires, and will not consider them again.

I have the FK-451's on my car. Not a bad tire, good for a daily driven vehicle. Wet traction is excellent. Dry traction is good. Now that i have another car im defintely going with a different tire next time. Since i wont be driving in rain anymore. One more thing, i really dont like the way the sidewall meets the rim with these tires.
