Falken ZE 912
Started Mar 31, 2008
Strengths: None...only had them for 2 weeks.
Weaknesses: Inappropriate for a minivan
I took my 05 Honda Odyssey to a Big-O to get a tire patched. Salesman told me the hole was on the sidewall and not repairable. i knew i needed new tires soon and let him talk me into a new set of this performance tire. i looked at him funny since i drive a minivan, but it was the tire he recommended so i reluctantly trusted him and bought a set of 4. i only live blocks from the store, so i drove straight home and didn't drive the van again til the next morning. While on the freeway my van was drastically pulling to the right. I dealt with this for two weeks until i had time to go back to the store. i s/w the same sales guy and after a little haggling he was good on his word and replaced the set for no charge (new tires were more expensive too). i immediately drove the van on the freeway and the pulling to the right was gone! i honestly don't know why the sales person would try to sell performance tires for a minivan, but he told me he would likely not put that tire on any minivans in the future. according to all the research i did the tire appears to be good, and rated well by consumer reports, but not fit for a minivan.
