What kind of mileage do you get out of them? I mean I know driving habits and well, your substantial amount of power probably make a difference, but do you have any kind of estimate?

Let me assure you, goodyear assurances aren't very affordable. They are a good tire, with I believe a 700 treadwear rating (been a while since I looked).

Anyways, I've got 12 coupons for $20 off assurances, eagles, forteras, wranglers, dunlop sp sport, and direzzas. That's $20 off PER tire.

Also, $10 off other goodyear, kelly, and dunlop tires other than light truck and trailer tires ($5 off).

Anybody want them, PM me. Still may be cheaper to buy these tires online from some place like tirerack, but you may want to check if you can use the coupons if you buy from them, that'd be a pretty good deal.

I got BF Goodrich G-Force Sports and so far they're a great tire, handle well, do very well in rain, a nice and quiet tire, i've read reviews and people are getting 30k+ miles out of them, and they are quite fairly priced.

LOL! I hope I never run any tires on my car that are used on a minvan!

THEDANT21 - I think you could easily get 30k+ miles out of the ZIEX 512's under normal driving conditions. I believe I had 25k miles on mine when I sold them with my E1's. They had about 30% treadlife left IIRC. I'm also not very easy on my tires.

Thats perfect, thanks for the info you all!

I'd get Fuzion ZRi from tirerack over the Falkens. Save yourself some money and get a stickier tire. They come in a 205/55R15 that would be a nice handler, if a little small in the wheelwell. There are other great summer tires out there too, that will cost less and stick better than the Falkens. OTOH, the Falkens are a good tire and the only all-season I'd ever get. I'd see if you can drive a Contour with real summer tires and see what you think.

Can't say enough about the zri's. Have them on both my cars and love them.
