Its about time for me to get new rubber so I was thinking which ones are the best and what everybody runs on the ORG, thinks... What do you think of Falken ZE512 and TOYO proxes 4? Thanks everybody

 

Im thinking about getting the falken ziex 512s too anyway here is a link to some reviews on the falkens. http://www.epinions.com/Falken_Ziex_...splay_~reviews

 

i have the falkens... and their pretty good in dry weather, and very good in the rain. Haven't drove in snow, so don't really know. Overall, pretty good tires with good performance and look.

 

I heard the falkens wear out quick, is this true?

 

Why the prices has such a big difference compared to TOYO or some other brands if it is so good quality?

 

i ran Goodyear Eagle F1's... they are good tires. I Have Kumo ASX right now... they are ok too. All weather tires. Good for the price.

 

post in the Wheel/Tire forum to get better feedback.

 

i used both, the toyo proxes 4 n the falken ziex 512. i'd get whichever is cheaper which is most likely the falken. but i would get the toyo's if price wasn't that much of a difference. i liked the toyo's better in the rain and i ran with them in the snow with no problems.

 

you should try kumho ecsta supras, i had those when i had my 18s and they they were really good tires, last long, and best of all, really cheap price.

 

Michelin Pilot Sports, Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S, even my Dunlop SP A2s are very good.

Goodyear Eagle HR. H-rated, 440 treadwear. About $79 at Goodyear shops. You can get them from tirerack.com for around $67. Just got these and they handle great. Ride is good and little road noise. These are an update to the HP - I put 60,000 on those and still had not reached the tread wear indicators.

 

i just picked up some Bridgestone Potenza G009's really nice tires. they are h rated all season, but it poured where i live, and when i went for a drive i could completely open it up without any tire slip. and since i dont have abs i only locked up the tires from 50 for about the last five feet, at full force of course. price is decent too. when i got them on it was $486 for everything.

 

i just put Potenza G009s on also and i like them... i was told that they dont last as long but i looked at the reviews on tirerack and they were rated very good and they wernt that expensive i paid 360 for all 4..(price matching is fun).... but since i have had them on the tires grip really well when i drive the like i stole it.


just my .02

 

geophrum can you chirp second with the g009's?

 

yes i can but i have to actually have to try... .before with my toyos i could easily... but with the G009s they grip alot more and so it takes a little more effort to chirp them.. they grip and go most of the time and hold to the road....maybe it is because they are so new and havent had time to wear in.... i havent gotten them to chirp in 3rd yet.. but i am working on it

 

Used Dunlop Sport A2s for years. Very good in all weather conditions.

 

I'm going for the BF Goodrich Traction TAs in another 5 or 6K. I would go for the Toyo Proxes 4, but they won't fit my wheels. Falken Ziex 512s aren't fit for a go-cart, IMHO!

 

I've also used h-rated Dunlop SP sport A2's for years (on several cars before my max that i've had a year now). They're a good choice for all-around performance, work OK in snow too. I seem to always have breaking-in issues with them though (like car pulls one way for a while even though alignment is OK). I'm going with another brand next time, just to see if I can do better.

 

Go for the Toyo's. They are a great set of tires. Tremendous in the rain and even in the snow.

 

shop for tires at the www.tirerack.com shop by size, and you can select performance ratings, speed ratrings and such

 

Shouldn't this be in another forum ... Tires and wheels Wheels and tires

 

You can't go wrong with the Kumho ECSTA. I have the Proxes on the back and tend to wear out and dont really stick that well.
