Kumhos!

I hated when I was on Falken Ziex (the side walls would buckle on aggressive turns)

The only tires Falken has that I would consider are Azenis.

I have not driven on the Falken so I couldn't say for sure. What are you looking for out of the tire? Let me know and I can make a better recommendation.

Kumho mx's are the tire to get, much better than the 712's, more sticky, and they dont squeel like a pig!

For what it is worth, I've had Falken FK 451's on my '01 s2k for about 12K miles, like them, and they seem to be wearing much better than OEM did. 205/55/16 front and 245/45/16 rears.

Thanks,
Richard

Another vote for Falken FK451's. They are comparable in performance with the Kumho MX. I could have gone with either one. Falkens were easier to get at my local shop. Both are great performance tires for the money.
