Stock Tires replaced already - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

At 575 miles

Couldnt bear to drive with those roller skates on any longer.

Now I got same size Falken ZE-502. What do you guys think of them. I paid 471.00 otd for 4 215.50/17.

True story, the shop ( Big O tires) were suppose to put Falken FK 451 on but accidently put the 502s on. I called and they said keep it or just exchange for the 451.

What do you guys think of Falkens?

I have the 512, and they are EXCELLENT!

calgary2800 · 06-27-2005, 09:33 PM

I called them and they said I can bring it back for a refund and get my old tires back on. Hell, I think I will return these, I want the latest and best.

I think I am heading to Discount Tire company this week!!

I have the 512s. Much better than stock, but starting to get loud. Treadwear is good, 8,000 or so on them now - looking to get 35-40k.

I just went for a quick spin. These 502s seems to be just very very good. A big improvement from stock. I think I will just keep them. I might not notice the difference between the 502 and 512.

Too much of a hassle I got to return them put the stock back on, than put on 512s. I think I will just leave them on.

I personally love Falkens. I had the 502s on the 626 they were great in wet traction. did not hyrdoplane until 75mph. I had the 512s on the front for a very short time on the same car. Did not really notice a big difference other than the waythey looked on the rim. I prefered the 502s look but apparently the 512s were quieter.

calgary2800 · 06-28-2005, 03:43 PM

I take back everything I said.

I must have the best Falkens for my new ride. So I am returning the zx502 for a full refund and going to Discount Tire to put on Falken Azenis St-112.

I got to have the best, cant hold it.

I wish my tires would wear out already so I can upgrade. 20K miles and still OK.

calgary2800 · 07-03-2005, 01:51 AM

Well guess happened. I took my 6 to Discount Tire to put on the Azenis St-115 like I ordered and they put on the Ziex-512.

WTF kind of luck am I having. Plus they have scratches on 2 of my wheels on the left side. Piece of shit work they did.
