You guys are going to murder me, but I bought Falken's

I stuck with original size, and bought the Ziex ZE329

I will test them out on my race home from work.

I overpaid for them out of convienience.

I wanted to get Hankooks, but it would have taken longer, and it was even more of a rip off.

Anyways, Anything is better than the OEM wheels which were so bad.

onlinetires usually have things on backorder even when it says "in stock". give them a call before you actually do order

The reviews I have read online have been mixed. Wear out fast, overpriced for what you get.

So far, I love em. They performed extremely well all weekend. So much better than the garbage OG tires.
