Falken ZE912

Postby TieNN89 » Fri Jul 04, 2008 5:54 pm

Has anyone tried the Falken ZE912?
http://falken.com.au/tyres/passenger-ZE912.html

I went to a tyre store and looked at rims and tyres
And the salesman recommends me the ZE912 over the RE001 mainly because the Falkens lasts longer than the Bridgestone and the grip is the same

So What do you all think?

Forgot to mention its also Cheaper!


~$140 for 15
~$180 for 16
~$180 for 17

i would doubt that it has as much grip as the re001 if it has higher ware characteristics. that would mean it has a harder less grippy surface.

The Falken 452 is the one to get.

i have the ZE series tyres atm, ZE326 to be more specific. They are rubbish. i would test them out first before making the decision, or at least do a little bit more research into it.

the thing which amazes me is that someone ( the tyre guy) is comparing one of the worst performance tyres to the adrenalins.

To me ......that would mean the adrenalin 001 would have to be total rubbish as I havent dríven on the re001's or this guy must be just talking out of his arse.

i can confirm they are a great tyre so me thinks he is talking out of his arse - probably makes a higher margin on the falkens

I had the 452s and they were very ordinary. I don't know how the 912s compare though because there's certainly nothing wrong with Falken's in general as the RT-615s I've got now grip like hell.
