Falken Ziex ZE-612+ Tires

Im in the market for a new set of tires and i found the Falken Ziex ZE-612+
on discount tire. I want something that has good grip but will still last a while. Has anyone used these tires before?

I had the 912's on my previous car. Decent tires. Not sure about the 612's. I'll be going with Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires for my new wheels. They have more wet and dry grip than the OEM Primacy HP tires, and should last a while as well.

It's a mid level all season sporty tire.
Grip is better than stock, it's not a performance tire, but it is a sporty all season.
Life, it should last 20k+ miles if they are anything like the 912's that share the same tread pattern.
Cost reflects its market, mid level, affordable.
Should be good in the wet as they are all seasons.
Good for a daily drive with additional grip, definitely not high performance, but still slightly sporty.

I would look at reviews on tire rack and go from there. I believe the 912 is the same model.

Thanks for the info. Looks like tire rack doesn't carry Falken tires.
