Me too! That's my next set of tires, whenever I can get some darn rims ordered. (I still need some help with this, btw) I have heard nothing but good things for a tire with that kind of price. A+ value, and I hope I still feel this way once I get them.

i know two people with the 512s that love them, because they offer good performance and are all season, and i have the 451s and i'm happy with those because i didnt need all season tires.

They are good tires for the price. I have 225/45ZR16's on MAS alloys & they are good on dry & wet pavement. The only downside with these tires is they wear more quickly than many similar more expensive tires. To help with this I am rotating tires every 4 to 5K. Cheers.

Falkens are super soft and thus wear out a tad quicker than OEM tires do.

I got a set on my 96 accord 4000 miles ago and they are nothing but a piece of crap,, i have been back 3 timea already  trying to correct a pull and a shimmy at slow speeds ,,,,they have replaced 2 of the 4 tires  already  , was ok for about 3 weeks,now the shimmy at slow speed is back again ,,so i got top take it back again

spend the extra money buy a set of yokahama ,,, i wish i would have done that ,

^WOW!  That's nuts, I don't know anything about the 512's but I've had the Azenis and Ziex both and had fantastic results.  Have you had any of their other tires Desert?

I have Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's that were on my wheels when I bought them. The dry traction is amazing, wet not so good, and not worth the price for what I need them for in the long run. Guy I bought them from used them at the track I guess. Also, I have had Yoko's in the past and I hated them. They were Avid A4's and they squealed around every corner like a cheap tire and wore out like a high performance tire. What do you guys think of Fuzion's? Friend had them on an Audi and they seemed great during the few times I drove it.
