    Grassroots Motorsport said its their favorite budget performance tire.

    I have a set, love them. They aren't going to transform the car into a total racecar but they do grip quite well for an all-season tire.

            Good tire for the price. Also has a 65K manufacturer treadwear warranty.
            I have had them on my E30 and my E36, far from a tire I would take to the track but for a daily.. Can't complain. :up:

              Ive got the falken 512s I love them.

              The way discount tires does their warranty is not indicitive of how the tires will last, its advertising.

              Cliche guevera works there ask him.

              This tire is lucky to make 30k miles. Im sure there has never been one to make 65k miles.


              If you want a tire that lasts 60k miles, the optimo could last that long. It is also way better in wet weather, but not as good in dry weather or braking.

                Sorta off topic, but can anyone compare 912's to DZ101's?
