Anyone ever used falken ZE512's on there P car? I replaced my pirelli P-zero Rosso's on my 307 d turbo with these and was quite impressed with the performance and there nearly half the price. Considering them for the porsche and wanted to know if anyone else has an opinion on them. Belive they are N rated but waiting for confirmation.
Thanks Steve

I've had several sets of 205/55 & 225/50 x 15 Falken ZE-512 ZieX on my Porsches & was very impressed. I currently have a set of these on my 911R-inspired car.
I also recommended them to Speedy Simon here on DDK & he was pleasantly surprised with them too.

I had some on mine when I bought it and went to Kumhos soon afterwards, like them both. S02s next time.
Excellent tyres

Thats just it - I got roughly the same, admittedly the rears were worse
than the fronts, but I swapped them (all 4) for Pzeros, and I still have
respectable tread on 6k miles despite the fact they are supposed to be
softer and more sticky ( on 996 tho - sorry
)
