Strengths:
tread looks good. wear well.

Weaknesses:
NOISE ! NOISE !! NOISE !!!

Summary:
I've had these tire six months. They are becoming very noisy. The dealer cross rotated them to try to quiet the noise. I guess that I am going to have to buy a set of Michelins again. These are aweful.

Strengths:
Handling and noise reduction

Weaknesses:
snow and over 100 MPH

Summary:
I put my Falken ziex's on my 2000 Mustang V6. I had snow tires on my stock 15 IN. rims. Then I upgraded to the Falkens on 18 IN. rims. They are about 3 inches wider than my stocks. They added superior handling and noise reduction. These tires are an excellent value for the price. Not to mention they look wicked nice.

be extra careful mounting them. any tear in the bead, no matter how insignificant, the tire is ruined.

Summary:
i work at a tire shop in tampa, florida. there is absolutely nothing wrong with the falken 512's. i read in a magazine that they were rated number one in quality for what you pay for. i read some of the bad reviews, and the people are not that smart. the guy with the porsche shouldnt be an idiot driving too fast IN THE RAIN. no tire will regain traction. and the other guy must have put 30-40 thousand miles on it.. not to mention his REAR alignment was off. i had the falken 512's on my camaro for a long time before i got rid of it, and they were perfect in every way! dont be fooled by a few people that think they know about tires, ive been dealing with tires for about 4 years now, and in my professional opinion is; if your looking to save money on a real good tire, go with falkens. if you want to spend a little extra, go with toyo proxes 4, or bf goodrich. stay away from bridgestone, goodyears, and even most michelins. those tires are over-priced and you will be lucky to get 20,000 miles out of them.
