tirerack doesn't sell Falken, and I don't know enough about tires to know other places to look

both have the ZE512 in 245/40/18

i had them on both my Protege and RX-7, they're decent for a strictly street-driven tire, light snow traction is ok at best, but really good bang for the money.

I had these Falkens on my Lexus. It's a pretty decent tire for the price. Grip was pretty good, but it was a little too loud for my taste. I got about 15K miles out of them.

Look into the Toyo T1Rs. I'm going to try those out once my stocks are worn. Everyone raves about them.

I got mine for about $90 each in 225/55/17 from DiscountTireDirect.com
I also purchased a set of Racing Sparco D-Spec Stage 1 17x7 wheels with them (wheels were about $87 each). Since I wanted TPMS installed into these (as my primary driving wheel/tires, relegating my OEM 18"'s to track duty) they cut me a break on the price to cover the cost of having a local shop mount/balance/TPMS install.

I like them. They aren't quite as good as the OE Potenzas in warm+dry conditions but they are far better in cold, light snow and rain.
