Big up to Big Al!
I went to the mall this morning to get a haircut and I never made it past Sears! I decided to stop by and price out some tires. Met BigAls87Z28 at the counter and I ended up walking out with a new pair of Falken FK 452's (275/40/17) for about $300 plus tax  . Now I have to figure out what to do for the back tires... Thanks Alex!

Hehe, yeah they're big. My rear end guy was pretty impressed when he saw them too.
Hey, was that chick at the other counter the one who stole your coat the other night?

Hehe. I didn't even check the myspace page but I've seen her every time I go to Sears and I know her type. Heavy NY accent, probably moved to Jersey years ago but still swears she's from Brooklyn where life is hard. She has all kinds of skateboard company logos on her little clipboard but she's rediculously ghetto in a trashy kind of way. Am I getting close? Those Sears uniforms aren't very revealing but she might be a butter face...

Ahahahahahaha...yeah thats close. I almost announced it at work.
In news today, had a 79-81 Trans Am Pace Car- white, 98-02 Silver Camaro, V6, looks like the one that several of us have seen parked near the student center @ Rutgers, and Jimmy Boy's SS was last seen parked next to my car about 30 mins ago.

Yeah, but these tires are 2x the size of your Fiero's tires.
Also, brand new C6 with chrome Z06 wheels, in Millienum Yellow parked next to my car. Looks like Lemon and Lime out there!

You have the Falken Ziek 512's. They are being phased out by the 912's.
The tires Kasey is talking about, and the ones I dont like are the 512.

I put them on several vehicles, from a 240SX, to a 91 Camaro Z28 to a 02 Mustang GT, all have come back and wanted a different tire due to the lack of traction in dry and wet pavement.
It seems to be the only Falken tire that gets poor reviews. Its a cheap tire, no doubt, but a bit more will get you a much better tire. The new 912 looks to be promising.

Isn't that Rafterman's Trans-Am? He lives by me and I see his car every now and then.
