FALKEN205/60R16 92V SL ZIEX ZE960 AS BW

I purchased the model tire before this one which they no longer make. Best tires I ever had on my vehicles for the price.Great for all season, Superior Traction handles very well in the rain. I have tested the claims about hydroplaning by driving in higher speeds going through puddles, as well as heavy water on the roadway. Every time without a shadow of a doubt these tires perform more than expected. A few years ago I drove them on very light ice and snow but roadways were still covered. Many Vehicles were on the side of the road. These tires performed up and down slopes without missing a beat. Superior Traction. I have a 2007 Honda Accord with front wheel drive with no traction control, no special options. Still these tires never cease to amaze me.Even though this review is basically for the predecessor, I can only imagine that they have upgraded their performance with these tires. So far I have driven them in the rain, through puddles with the same handling and performance. Will update the review if possible as I continue to test them. The only downside that I can see and this goes with any tire, is that all tires no matter how much of a mile warranty do eventually become hard.These tires are rated at 65,000 mile warrantyI would say that I got close to that with there still being tread on the tires. However once they become hardened once they become hardened they are useless in regards to taking off in the rain or on any wet surface.Meaning that the grip is no longer useful after they turn hard. I purchased the other tires in 2019. They lasted until recently.The tires look good and are pretty comfortable. Very quiet.
