Good review. Thanks. I need to uprade to those too. My RE92s aren't good at all. But it's summer so maybe I'll get some 19s with summer tires.

I had the dilemna in the end, I went with the Bridgestone Turanza LS-V and have been extremely happy. They are a great, quiet, responsive, good looking tire. I was debating the Falken and in the end, the fact the Flaken do not have any road hazzard warranty I chose the LS-V's. If Falken does not stand behind their produt, why should I. FYI, I do know of three individuals who have the 512's and one loves them, one is content, but overly impressed, he finds them noisy and the other has had two literally blow out on him while driving, he now has the LS-V's as well.

Just my two cents.

Safe driving all

Good input. I hope mine don't blow out!

I've had mine on for about 9 months.
Okay in the snow, very good in the rain, avg. road noise, seem to have excessive wear on the edges (yes I had the car aligned when I bought them)
For the $$ I'd probably buy them again.

Yeah I like my 512's also...a little noisy, but my music drowns it out. Rain grip is outstanding and you can't beat the price. If I had more $$ I'd get the Pilot Sport A/S but the 512 is almost as good for 1/2 the price...
