Writing about the Falken ZE512 given 60% (195-60-15-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 21000 spirited miles
Tyres were bought due to its cheap price and because they are meant to be grippy in the dry. The tyre compound is fairly soft so i was expecting good grip in wet and dry conditions. With the tyres freshly fitted they where tested on an airfield prior to a rally event, the sidewalls are very soft so no treahb remained. Large chunks and scrapes of rubber where taken out of the thread due to the harsh surface. Even though the tyre was losing rubber the grip was good on the asphalt and concrete. After having these tyres for a month, the rear tyre had to be replaced as rough surface from roadworks managed to cut trough to the carcass...£45 tyre in the bin! Wet performance @ 3mm tread has been reasonable but greasy country roads with enthusiastic driving did equal one too many tank slappers as the front tyres lost all grip and the car managed to aquaplane.
For the price these tyres are great on dry surfaces and perform well when driven hard. They do not perform to well on wet or greasy roads even with the softer compound (tyres do warm up very well)

Driving on mostly motorways for 84 average miles
Absolutely the worst tyre for any condition remotely damp I've ever used and this without really pushing on. Experience is in comparison to Michelin Energy, Continental Contact and Goodyear Eagles all used on this vehicle.

After driving several focus st's before buying mine 2nd hand these where on the front. Nothing special in the dry but in the wet they because dangerous. The front end of the car skated around and they give no confidence at all. Since then I have had goodyear f1's and kumhos and even champiro's but nothing was everas bad as these. There are alot more tyres for less money whihc give you more.
