my ze912s are awesome.. dry performance is sweet.. wet performance is awesome.. snow performance is alright but to me you should leave driving in the snow to snow tires...

and ps 118 is expensive for falkens

if you bring it into sears they'll price match it i got my 912s for 78/tire i've gone about 9k on them and i probably have 60% left.. but i haven't rotated them yet... wh00ps

yeah they are great tires.. the ZE-512's.. i had them on my 04 single cam civic sedan while i was in school.. dropped 3 10th's off my ET.. 16 flat at like 83MPH.. not bad for a completely stock civic.

if you had a question regarding tires, why wouldn't you post it in the 'TIRE' section?

I have no complaints about my Ziexs... They are awesome. Even had them one day with a bit of snow and I didn't slip. That's prolly the driver mod tho heh. Lookin to get mine replaced in the spring tho.

In the snow, ice, and salt. I apologize to my car. I tell it I'm sorry. I don't mean for it to be like this.
