I have been running Falken Ziex ZE 960 A/S tires and I am amazed at how good they grip in both wet and dry conditions. They are 3 yrs old and will likely need replacing by the end of their 4 th year. My FiST has aftermarket 16" rims and the tires are a 205/50 R16. The handling is as good as the 40 series tires on the 17 inch rim, but the ride is soooo much better. The 40 series tires on the roads I have to drive on in the interior of British Columbia Canada were just too harsh. Best mod I've done for my FiST. I will likely buy these tires again.
