Falken ZE912

Quick thoughts from anyone who had this tire? How's grip, traction in the rain, and tread life?

Won't be used in the snow.

grips well, rain is very good, thread life depends how you drive but they wear out quicker than other tires. also i had these for few years and usually tires i had before were cracking. the falkens didn't crack.

I can't speak for the 912s, but I had 512s a few years back and I loved them. Grip was great. Traction in rain was good. Wore out a bit quick...but it's a trade off for good grip. You can't have it all.

Owned a set of 512's for a season and they were pretty good, no complaints in regards to traction in the rain or grip. Bought my sister a set of 912s a few years back, great tires as well and inexpensive.

I had 912's all around. Ran through the fronts in a season, however as it's stated earlier in the thread, it all depends on how you drive. I was a lil hard off the line and out of parking lots which led to the tread wearing quicker than normal. Also i didn't rotate them throughout the season. As for traction, They were great in the rain.
Now I have 912's on the front and 512's in the back (bought from Firefox)

Had 512's too and liked them. Have not had the 912's but my friend has them on his car and says they are great for the money.

912's were good. Still have 3/4 (puncture toasted one). 195/65/14 I believe. Anyone interested?

Just picked up my 912's yesterday and they are pretty sweet. You should deff go with 912's if your looking to buy all seasons. I've read alot of good reviews about them..
