Tires Falken or Continental
I've had 512s on three of my cars. Great mileage out of them and they do great in wet and dry...
Was running Avid W4s Yokohama’s on 14" Snowflakes and nothing bad to say till 20% tread, then a loose feeling... rain was good. I'm now running 195/50/15 Falken ZE912 high performance all season and also come in 14, with the stiff coils all around I have little to no push in corners and better off on the wider stance zero off-set rims. Now the main reason is they are a great wet tire and still trying to make the front push... my buddy ran them on his BMW and didn't like the oversteer feeling of the tire folding?!!? but I'm firm believer curb weight has heaps to do with it.... my 3 cents in rainy vancouver
Deff go with the falken ziex i have them on my 14" american racing rims there amazing they hug the road exspecially with all new suspension
I think it is a great idea for the right situation. I take my 15' aluminum boat out 3-4 times a year and the lake is just 1 mile away, but there are always cops around the lake and they will pounce on you if your lights are not working, so it is a perfect solution for me.
For all season , Continental Extreme Contact DWS are great, kinda weak sidewalks though.
Now, I have had two sets of these, in addition to quite a few of my friends running these tires, nary a problem.
My Volvo had a pretty new set of Conti DWS's and they worked well in mild snow and really nicely in the rain, even when they wore down into the "D."
I like Continental DWS on my R. They are a good set up for heavy rain and mild snow, and fairly cheap.
I have Continental 4000 700x25 tires. In 4000mi I got 2 flats and the tires look good for a few thousand miles more. Low rolling resistance, fast, great handling. I highly recommend Continental tires.
Mine is super annoying between 20-30mph. Running Falken ze-512, for now. They have always been loud but now that they are cupped a bit, it is bad.
