I have them on 2 of my cars - one summer car - one daily... Perform good in rain, and "well" in snow. I've got about 50% tread left - and in snowy conditions do fine (except from a dead stop - can be difficult). Did great in the first summer/winter - but like any "performance all-season" does so-so once the tread wears down... For a great price - I say rock em...
Primarily you want thin and narrow. I ran all season Falken-512 195 50 15 last winter and had no problems.
I use falken rt615 both for auto-x and summer driving. best bang for the buck, and don't worry about wet weather traction, i drove through some of the nastiest storm on them without a second of hesitation, as a matter of fact they are better then any other tire I had so far
Ok..prior to purchasing the Falken Ziex Ze 912 tires I couldn't really find many reviews on them so I figured I'd share my thoughts. Initial impression was they felt like they offered a more comfortable soft ride compared to the Dunlops. But the Dunlops gave a better sharper steering feel that is more responsive than the Falkens. The Dunlops had a better road feeling vs. the Falkens, which seem to feel more floaty and slower to respond. Drove the Falkens in the rain tonight and they felt pretty good. From a dead stop the Falkens gripped better with no wheel spin. Whereas the Dunlops would often spin out even when new. Falkens definitely performed better in the wet. In cornering, the Falkens seem like they have a stiffer sidewall, which I like. In comfort and noise, the Falkens definitely seem quieter than the Dunlops and absorb road bumps much better than the Dunlops.
i've got Falken Ziex 912's. awesome.
For the money, you cannot and will not find a better tire than the Falken Azenis RT-615 Had these on my DC2 Integra and used them for summer driving, autocross, HPDE, and they grip better for the money than any tire out there until you hit R compounds.
The Azenis grip way better than any other DOT tire in a near stock 14" size, sidewall stiffness gives quick response, the price is low.
Well, I have a set of 512's but they are not stretched. However, they are the best tire I have owned to date for the price.
I've driven in quite heavy rain with them, and was quite impressed by their performance.
yeah they can be scary in heavy downpours. i have to drive on the slow lane most of the time, because past 55-60, i'm hydroplaning. it's actually exciting in my opinion, but not safe at all.
