[chader]

I have been running them for over a year and like them very much!
THey hook in dry way better then the OEM crap.
Work fine in water
Never tried in snow
Suspect I will get them again when the rears are worn out.

[DOOM]

That's a damn good looking tire.

[chader]

The only problem I see with the, Ziex S/TZ01, is the representation, it is of a (possibly) 315/40/18, so it'll not be as meaty looking when you buy a smaller size.

[chader]

they don't look exactly like the picture but they look real good and alot better then most tires out there....imo.

[LIGHTNIN1]

I'll do it some time this weekend....take a picture that is..lol

[chader]

Great looking tire! Great price.

the price is the best part...you don't feel bad for burning them off!

I have them on my Blue MM.
Overall a good tire, but lacking a little in the cornering department. They just dont seem to give me that secure feeling when blazing through turns like the OEM's did.

[burt ragio]

Nice tread design. Is Falkin a good Co. ?

[CKMustangCobra]

Are they as quiet as the stockers or the Nitto 420s?

[chader]

I did not notice a noise increase.

[FrankJAG]

I just got a set of 255/50 Falken 512's for my CVPI and I am very happy with them. Excellent traction in the wet (I live in Houston, we get downpours) and dry; nice and quiet too.
Not the exact tire as OP wanted, but I can vouch for the quality of Falkens. :-)

I'm surprised nobody said how "Falkin good they are"....hahahahaha

jocularity!!! :d

Falken is a good company, and I've run the tires on other cars. They're owned by Dunlop.

ZACK - You're running the 555s all the way around? And you don't like the corner-confidence? Is that in the rear, or in general? They get squirmy? Curious.

555s are summer-only tires, and will probably chunk in cold weather, not to mention would be like driving on ice. I'm still looking for an all-season, and as I mentioned in another post, thing I'm going to shoot for a set of 245/40/18 front and 255/45/18 rears, see how they do. A little shorter, but the ratio-spread is correct to keep the TC/ABS happy.....

Actually Im getting more and more impressed with them.
I was comparing a lot of cornering to when my car was NA, and now it is SC.
Didnt realize how fast Ive been taking sharp turns with these Falkens, bout 40+mph through windy forest roads.
Gotta say, they re a kick ass tire.

[HWYSTR]

Ah, so you're running the A/TZ01 then, not the 555s? The sizes in that tire are 235/50 and 255/55, which is about a 1.66" spread, .36 different than factory, and .4 being the limit before TC/ABS starts complaining. You have an '04 and don't see the light come on?

Pictures? I'm thinking of buying a set of these as well...

[BlkRauderMatt]

Yeah,what he said.

Guess I'll have to put pictures up myself! I just bought a set... They look GOOD! $627 installed..... Hopefully these will do better than the BFGs...

[USN_Lifer]

Still waiting on pics and more reviews of the Falkens! I'm waiting to buy a set, possibly this weekend!!!!!

Where did you get them for $627 installed? I just found them on tires-easy.com for 112/129 ea. but I've never heard of this company. Anyone ever buy from tires-easy.com before?
