I would stay away from the Falken 512 like the plague. I have had a set for 7k mi, and I'll be lucky to get 12k miles. These tires have a 300 wear rating, 40k miles? I would charaterize my driving as moderate, occasionally agressive.
I have also have problems with uneven wear and cupping on these tires.I have never had good luck with Japanese tires, Yokos and Bridgestone. I am a big fan of Kuhmo Tires I had a set of 711 on my '99 9-5 SE. They were great tires.
Dino,
What others are you talking about? I seen mainly negative posts on the Falken 512, on these and other boards.
That is the last time I buy anything based upon a consumer reports rating. They are geared to people who drive Camrys, not enthusiasts who drive SAABs
I wish I had purchased the Kuhmos or the P-Zero Neros M&S.
