Ok, since you seem to be the resident "tire guy"....
I have a 2001 V-6 Camaro. In December, before I knew this forum existed, I had to get two new front tires since the original Eagles were shot. I ended up getting two Falken ZE-512s. I like them, I suppose, but about a month ago I ran through some standing water on a highway that was a little more than I thought. I saw it coming and let off the gas, but I still did quite the fishtail. I've done that once or twice before but never fishtailed like I did this time. I've heard that you can have problems if you have two different types of tires on your car and perhaps that's part of the reason why...the Falkens are on the front and the original Eagles are on the back.
Ok, I got a little sidetracked there...anyway, my main question is, are the Falkens a decent enough tire to make it worth buying two more? I need to replace the Eagles and would like to have matching tires, but if the Falkens are truly crappo, I don't want to sink more money into those. Any thoughts? My car is just a daily driver, has 45,000 miles on it.
Thanks muchly for any input!
