I had 225-40-18 912's on 18x8 and I loved the gentle curve I had, But I didnt keep those wheels for long so I cant talk about tire wear but they gripped reallly well.
This is what a 225/40/18 on a 18x10 falken 912 looks like (my car) The 512's kind of sink in more at the sidewall area as opposed to the 912's just kind of gently curving up. I would personally ruin 452's over 912's any day... I've run all three..
I just bought some Falken Sincera SN211's for my 03 VUE for $450 installed. 80K Warranty. Pretty good if you don't need performance tires.
I have the Hankook iPikes on my Prius and am very happy with them. I've run Michelin Arctic Alpins, Cooper Weathermasters (twice), Firestone Winterforce, Gislaved, and Nokian Haka2's. Each had very minor pros and cons but honestly I didn't find much of a real difference between any of them including the Hakka's which cost twice what the others costs.
had the same experience here. other than that, not an real all-season tire like advertised. pretty ishy in snow, actually, not good at all in snow. other than that, not bad. they have good wear characteristics too
Had Falken Ziex Ze-912... won't buy them again.
