Re: Falken ZIEX ZE-912 any good?

back to the F1s, the made in China ones are not poor quality as such, they are made for the SE Asia market and is optimised for their higher temperatures. It made of a different compound that then struggles with the lower temperatures in Western Europe.

This was discussed a couple of years ago, there was a batch of Asian ones that came over apparently.

Just bought some Vredestein Sportrac for the 145, seem very good and get a good write up.
