Falken does make some good autocross tires, but the Ziex is not the tire. I have two sets of summer UHP tires and a set of all-seasons for this winter already. No more tires are needed.

kthxby,

Ditto.... get some experience and stop with the F40 comparisons... I have bridgestone 225/45/17 on my STi rims and with a shot rear suspension I have thrown it around a little while breaking in the built motor and blower. For street tires they are great. Nice stiff sidewall and decent grip. I am getting a set of 255/40/17 Falken Azenis RT615's for street tires. Those should be about as big/wide as anything that ANYONE needs. If there is anyone on here that should be offering tire advice it is the guys that are racing frequently (benebob, hocrest, shotgunslade, svxride and forgive me if I forget anyone) and guys who are starting to make nice power, (Tomssvx, svxfiles, LAN, I won't count myself because I have not had the experience yet to make a lot of recommendations)
