falken tires

[Unregistered]

I heard the Falken Ziex Ze 512 gets loud as they wear... Falken 512 is very quiet when NEW but after 4k miles, it gets loud. You will notice many used Falken 512 on eBay... There must be reason why that is... If you want quiet Falken tires, go with the Azenis ST-115. They will stay quiet as they wear unlike Ziex 512.

I run this tire on my 2003 MINI Cooper and have accummilated 13,000 miles thus far. I haven't noticed any noise difference and would say these tires are quieter than the Continental Con-Tac 175/65/15's that were on the car when new. I love the stick and they appear to be wearing well. I expect at least 30,000 or more, mileage wise.
I am getting ready to order this model tire in sizes to fit my E34 535i shortly. For what it is worth Vulcan Tire is an awesome place for Falken's.
