I do not know if any of our members who are using the Falken Zirex ZE-912 tyres have encountered this experience. This tyre has been designed to provide good aquaplaning according to the write-up. Just end of last month, I replaced my Goodyear Eagle LS2000 which I used for 15km to Falken Zirex ZE-912 tyres. I chose the latter after reading the specs on how good is the tyre design and aquaplaning. This morning while driving my daughter to work in a hotel along ECP at around 5.30am, it was raining extremely heavily and the road was full of water puddles. Although the road holding is good, but the aquaplaning is below my expectation. When going through puddles of water at 80km/hr, the "pull back" feeling could be felt although my previous Goodyear Eagle LS2000 tyres which had been used for 15000km, could still cut through puddles of water even at 90 km/hr without having any 'pull back. I held on to the the steering wheel firmly in position to prevent the tyres from 'running off' when going over puddles of water. I have sent an email to the President of Stamford Tires this morning providing him on my feedback that I encountered of this supposedly good aquaplaning tyres and awaiting his reply. Meanwhile, I might be changing to another set of tyres that will provide me with good road holding on dry and wet and especially very good aquaplaning.

Hi all, Found my driver side tyres flat this morning when leaving for work, suspected vandalism. Anyway, had to get my car towed to Stamford tyres and changed to fresh Falken Zirex-912 18". As I was in a hurry I didn't bother to negotiate the price and just paid what was quoted after the AAS discount, but I was wondering if I got ripped off at $275 per tyre? Thanks....
