General Consensus
Whats the general consensus on the Falken ZIEX ZE-512 tires? Worth the buy?
I need to change my Canadian Tire tires soon so Im wondering what are good tires to look for.
Came across the Falken at Tiretrends so wondering if they are good and worth it?

they're pretty good for the price. i bought them but won't be getting them anymore. i need something stickier and will just run snow tires during the winter. these tires are perfect for daily driving though, good in the wet when new but not so good once you wear them down.

Edit: How is the tire condition holding up? Any peeling of the sidewall, weird issues?

my tires probably have like 30k on them. i did a lot of driving on these tires. they have been to two track days, blistered like crazy but side walls look mint still. i'm lowered 1.75 and my front inners are already bald but 30k on these tires aren't that bad. i'm on 195/50/15s, i should've went 205/50/15s.

I know the 60 in the sidewall readings means 6 inches height of the tire. Is the 205 the width of the tire?

I dont want to spend more money on tires soon after. Im just 18 and dont have much cash, using my summer job money which is sparse.
So Im looking for better tires than what I have, crappy CT tires, that need replacing.
So Im thinking of these kinds...
195/60R/15 or 205/60R/15
which one do you think look nicer on the 93 Civic and drive better performance wise.
BTW: Im not into "looks" on my Civic so these tires dont need to be low-profile, just good quality tires that ride nice. Im being simple.
And thanks
