Hello all, I purchased the Falken Ziex 512's in the stock 225 50 17 size for my 2K2 SE last month and wanted to provide some feedback. I initially gave these tires a pretty good review last month. At the time of the purchase we had quite a bit of snow here in Mass and my highway speeds were limited to about 40-50mph for a while. These tires work great at these speeds on dry roads, wet roads and snow. The wet and snow traction blew the stock potenzas away. Once the weather cleared up here and I was able to drive 60-80mph on the highway I really started to hate these tires. My car developed a wobble while cruising above 50mph and pulled hard to the left. I brought my car back three times to the installer (sears) and they reballanced them and re-did my alignment twice. The wobble has gotten a little better but the car still pulls to the left. Besides the three times they reballanced the tires, they tried rotating the tires from front to back which still didn't fix the problem. I can not recommend these tires to anyone. It is likely that I have two out of four tires with a factory defect in them that causes my car to pull left. Sears has been very helpfull throughout this entire ordeal and has ordered me a set of Bridgestone Turanza LSV's from tire rack and are fully refunding me my money for the Falkens. Hope this helps anyone looking to purchase the Falken tires.

Definitely not good in the snow.

After a couple of years they're getting very close to the tire wear indicators. Definitely not getting these again. Very noisy in comparision to the Toyo Proxes 4's and even the stock 215/55/16's Proxes. Also not confidence-building in the wet while at 70+mph due to some hydroplaning. Feels like its close to its limit in the wet. In the dry I felt vibrations around 70mph but disappears below and above it.
