I tried Falken Ziex tires twice on previous cars with 1/4 the horsepower and they lasted about 15 minutes. Never again will I touch Falken tires; I don't care if they sponsor every drift car driver this side of the galaxy.

Really like my BFG g-Force COMP-2 A/S's (285/35R19). Impressive dry grip for A/S's if l do say so myself, very happy l went with them.

Have no issues in the wet either and you can't beat the price...

Same here. We put 7200 miles on the car in two weeks in temps from 36F to 107F and they performed great the whole time. Dry grip isn't as good as a summer tire but is excellent compared to the factory all seasons.

How long did they last? There are so many mixed reviews on those tires. How do you think they compare to the BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 A/S tires?

I like both tires.

Honestly with -2 degrees camber and my young dumb ass thinking I was steve Mcqueen I got ~20k out of it.

I just recently went with the Conti DWS 06's to replace my factory P-Zero summer tires. I'm really liking them so far for what they are. Regardless of which A/S tire you go with, just know that you will be instantly disappointed if you're switching from summer tires in regards to handling and responsiveness. I've done the switch several times and it's always quite shocking how different they are. That said, obviously summer tires are meant for summer and are terrible in the winter/cold so A/S's, while being good at everything are great at nothing.

After driving on the PZero's through last winter (not in any snow but just in the cold) I knew I was going to switch to A/S tires. I had my eye on the Conti's for my last car but ended up going with another tire. Figured I would try them this time. Went a little wider too (285/35/20 square). So far so good. The first 500 miles had me a little concerned. On top of that extreme change from summer tire to A/S tire, you also have to deal with tire break-in. All of the oil from the molding process is still on the tire. Things got pretty squirrely around 65-70mph. However, once that all burned off, they've been great ever since for what they are. I'm interested to see how they do in winter. I'm still going to avoid snow as much as possible but at least I don't have to be too worried in the cold temps.
