Anybody here know anything about a Falkens Ziex or something to that effect? My friend wants to sell them to me for cheap(fits 19x8.5 wheel).

I use to have Falken 520 (not on MB). I love them they are sticky and last me almost 20K. Other tires usually last me 10K-15K.

Falkens are getto. Those tires are for a supt up civic or a crx. Definitly not an MB. Michellin mxv4 is my favorite so far. Second choice would be toyo proxes. For me that is. If your buddy is giving you a great deal then go a head get them, drive them till their balled then go out a by new ones. $ 20.00 each you got a great deal. No more
