Default Falken Ziex ZE-512

I just ordered a set for daily driving so I can save my rt-615s for autox days.

Someone please tell me that I'll be at least relatively pleased with the treadlife and performance (expecting better treadlife and less performance, obviously).

Is it likely that I'll get at least 13,000-16,000 miles out of these? That's about one year's worth of driving for me.

Haven't had them long enough for personal experience, but from what I've read the treadlife is pretty good.

Performance is pretty good. They are soft and have a nice ride, but still hook up better then RE92's.

The 512's should have a pretty long life. THat's what I was told anyway. I have them and love the, but like Nick said, I haven't had them long enought to know about the wear
