Default Anyone riding on Falken Ziex's?

Anyone riding on Falken's Ziex or however its spelled tires? I see them alot online and around here as OE when you buy rims or what not. They look directional and seem to be a pretty decent tire, but I have yet to speak with someone that has used them.

I want to put a new set on her car, so I thought about upgrading her ghetto tires to some directionals to help with hydroplane incidents. Her ride is light in the rear and seems to slide quite a bit in wet conditions.

Just curious.

I'm rocking a set of 205/45/16's... I like them a lot.

They hold well in the dry, and don't get hairy in the rain (or even snow). They also don't wear ridiculously fast, which is a common problem with hi-po tires.
And they are cheap. Probably the best thing.

i have them on my wheels now. a bit of road noise but not too bad. traction is good in both wet and dry, also snow. They were way better than my last tires that i had, kuhmo asx. For the price im guessing you cant go wrong.

Have them on my Civic 215/35-18. Couldn't be happier. they are inexpensive and for a Z rated tired they have pretty good treadwear. they have some road noise but its not horrible and they handle very well in all conditions.

Awesome, looks like I am sold on a set then.

I just have to debate whether I should spring for a set for the stockers, or wait until I can afford a semi decent upgraded wheelset for her, lol.
