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.

^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.
