good idea?? not heard alot about these.. i was wondering if anyone has them, and how do they do in wet conditions...???...???

They're a fair tire - I recommend getting one of the tires from Tire Rack like a Kumho or Dunlop over any Falken unless you're getting those tires for $80/ea.

thats about what i was gettin them for.. but i was also considering Firestone Firehawk SS20s from the tirerack ...

I got the SS20's on my car now. Great wet traction, even better dry traction.. The only way I can get them to break loose (other than power braking) is to pull out from a stop, and cut the wheel to the right or left.. It will not break loose when going straight.

I actually got mine from a Firestone dealer in town because I got a 15% off coupon in a ValPak mailer.. plus, you don't have to pay shipping.

i had falken ziex's ordered up for my car, nice, and good handling tire ive heard but i went to spend more money and got 245/35/17 Yokohama A520's, these tires rule. :eek:

I used to have Ziex's also, but I wasn't impressed with them. After the Ziex's, I went to the Kuhmo Supra Ecsta's which were nice, but did't last too long. Now I have the Nitto NT-450's and I cannot complain at all about them. They have lasted a long time and offer VERY good grip. Plus, they're pretty cheap.

hmm, i've heard that the Kuhmo's are pretty good on tread life.. i can't decide its either Kuhmo's or Firestone SS20's
