Hey guys, in need of some tires, the rear ones are cracked all over and are buldging. I figure instead of risking them blowing up, and me dieing etc, ill get some nice NEW quiet solid tires which will hopefully help fuel economy wise as well. They are around $350 with tax here new. Anyone run these tires, anyone have any idea if it is a good tire. Any good budget suggestions? I plan on probably getting new rims later but for now I think it is priority for some safe tires ATM.

I'm on my second set and like them a lot, for an all-season. They have a lot of dry and wet grip, did alright on the snow and ice. They were also really fast at rally-x. I think they're one of the top rated tires on consumer reports.

My biggest complaint is that the sidewalls are a little soft, but I could have spent the extra money on the V-rated tires, which have a reinforced sidewall.

got the tires. Everything seems good. Very quiet and seen to have plenty of grip. Compared to my old tires the sidewall is pretty solid yet very good ride. Time will tell on tire wear and how they are in the rain which looks like it should be pretty good. Tread looks pretty cool ill get some on car pics :)

The ZE912s' selling point is the price. There are better tires out there, but for the money, you'll be hard-pressed to find a tire that performs better.

We sell a bunch at work, and our customers are always happy with them.

I've got these tire in the 225/55-17 size which is "W" speed rated, this tire is pretty good, plenty of dry grip that I don't think I have been able to take full advantage of it yet.
