An initial review on the Falken ZIEX 912. Just put these on a civic sedan in a 225/40/18.
The sidewall states that this tire is made by Sumitomo in Thailand.
Car: 2009 Civic Sedan
Tire: Falken ZIEX 912 Performance All Season Tire
Size: 225/40/18
Suspension: Changing in a week, right now.... Stock. Upcoming: HFP, camber bolts, camber arms, 22mm R sway.
Alignment: Front: Camber: 0.2 L -0.3 R Toe -0.01 L&R
Rear: Camber -1.3 L -1.6 R Toe 0.13 L 0.1 R
It's listed as a performance all season so im not expecting auto-x dominating performance but we shall see how it does as the car is having a huge suspension upgrade in about a week.
So far I have put about 300 miles on the tires. A couple long highway trips and a lot of around town driving at 30-45.
My initial assessment: The tire rides very nicely. It is a little louder than other all seasons I have had but I partially attribute that to the low 40 series sidewall vs. the normal 50/55 height. You definitely feel the bumps with this tire, not harsh, but you feel them. Again low 40 series contributing factor. I have no complaints so far. The ride is comfortable, the car goes where I point it, and I get no flat spots overnight parked on a slight incline. I also feel no "tram lining" which is where the tire follows grooves in the pavement. There is a lot of construction around currently with lots of grooved sections and I have felt no pulling so far. Very promising tire.
I am mostly comparing this tire to a set of Dunlop Direzza DZ101 tires. These are not the star specs.
300 miles: Overall I like them so far as a DD tire.
I will update this first post as more miles get on the tires and let you guys know how they do in the wet and as they wear.
