Thread: Falken Ziex at Sears

  1. #1

    Default Falken Ziex at Sears

    I'm looking the Falken Ziex for the Sled -

    LINKIE

    Anyone have experience with these? I did a search and there's only one mention of these on our board...

    I'll be replacing my current set of Yokohama AVS ES100's (225/45/17). I love the Yokos but as they wear they get louder than sin... plus since my Sled is now the garage queen it won't be getting as much drive time as it used to.

    So, any ideas? Suggestions?

    Take a look at the Yokohama Avid V4S. That's what I put on the wifes car (after recommended by TC and you too IIRC) and she is very happy with them. TireRack.

    The V4S is the "long-life" replacement for the V4. It's a high-comfort, decent performing all-season tire. We got 20-25k miles out of the old V4 on the Civic (a car known for eating tires). The treadwear rating on the new ones is 550 vs 320 on the old ones...

    I've never used the Avid V4S... the ES100's yes... those sound nice though. I'll keep shopping around. Thanks!

    I was probably making reference to the ES100s... :P
