Tires Falken or Goodyear

ya w rated you get the superior handling in dry summer conditions and it also handles and bites extremly well in the snow. It also cuts right threw water with its shutes in the tread design. You should really check this tire out. I couldnt be any more plz with thise tire on my car. I always hated goodyear but they really did make extremly good w rated a/s tire this time.

check out the Goodyear Eagle GT's. $500 a set. 225/45/17 Best new w rated all season tire out there now. Plus there half the price of many others in its category. i love mine.

Primarily you want thin and narrow. I ran all season Falken-512 195 50 15 last winter and had no problems.

I use falken rt615 both for auto-x and summer driving. best bang for the buck, and don't worry about wet weather traction, i drove through some of the nastiest storm on them without a second of hesitation, as a matter of fact they are better then any other tire I had so far

I got the same exact set up on my wife's Jetta. Good tires for all season driving, very sticky with awesome handling in the rain/snow and great handling when dry...

Goodyear Eagle F1's ftw!

Ok..prior to purchasing the Falken Ziex Ze 912 tires I couldn't really find many reviews on them so I figured I'd share my thoughts. Initial impression was they felt like they offered a more comfortable soft ride compared to the Dunlops. But the Dunlops gave a better sharper steering feel that is more responsive than the Falkens. The Dunlops had a better road feeling vs. the Falkens, which seem to feel more floaty and slower to respond. Drove the Falkens in the rain tonight and they felt pretty good. From a dead stop the Falkens gripped better with no wheel spin. Whereas the Dunlops would often spin out even when new. Falkens definitely performed better in the wet. In cornering, the Falkens seem like they have a stiffer sidewall, which I like. In comfort and noise, the Falkens definitely seem quieter than the Dunlops and absorb road bumps much better than the Dunlops.

i've got Falken Ziex 912's. awesome.

meh.. the falkens can really get you in trouble in rain if you're not carefull. yes they provide alot of grip in the rain, but they'll breakaway (lose grip) with little to no warning unlike the goodyear eagle F1's which were pretty gradual.

yeah they can be scary in heavy downpours. i have to drive on the slow lane most of the time, because past 55-60, i'm hydroplaning. it's actually exciting in my opinion, but not safe at all.
