It's not really quieter at all.
In fact, I'll be honest, I ****ing hate them

Re: FV-QR (Gabe.)

i mean just look at the sidewall comparison between the two pics
912 = [
512 = /

but I'll never get 912s again. I don't like the way they feel on the road.

Honestly though brIan, who cares about road feel?

Re: FV-QR (sweep'n'streets)

912's suck. As do 352's.
Direzzas are dope though. Got a bunch of em at my shop, seem like a good tire.

vee_rub · May 15, 2008

what is this dirrezza you speak of? i like my toyos though

bklnstunt718 · May 15, 2008

the 912 is perfect in my opinion, and i love the way it looks stretched. the side walls are def. BALLIN !!! hehe

VWn00b · May 15, 2008

You can still pickup the 512's from Discount Tire.
I just get a set the other day. 205/40/17 to be exact.

Sandlock · May 15, 2008

a few dunlops i cant think of right now and yokahama a520 are nice options; that and 195/40 T1Rs. they aren't necessary though. 7 don't need a whole lot though, you should be good in most cases.

VR6OOM · May 15, 2008

Re: (Sandlock)

The 912 replaced the 512. The 912's DON'T stretch well at all! The 452's do however.

Falken didnt discontinue the 512 they only contracted the tire to certain distributors (Discount Tire Direct) so only they have the rights to sell the tire so they could release the 912. I ordered 4 tires for $291 shipped on monday. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

YUP I GOT MINE FOR 292 SHIPPED

Re: FV-QR (broken dipstick)

I just installed 912's on my car 3 or 4 days ago.. I went with them after having the 512's 3 times.
On my 185-60-14's, the sidewall is the same as far as looks go, but it's stiffer than the previous 512 version. Treadwear is a little better too, and they're asymetrical which for me is a positive. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: FV-QR (reynolds9000)

**** I SHOULD HAVE GOT THE 912'S OH WELL WE WILL SEE
I LIKE MY SIDEWALLS MUSHY LIKE MASHED TATERS

paul wall · May 15, 2008

Re: FV-QR (reynolds9000)

How do you know what the tread life is like if you only installed them a few days ago mr. myers?

Re: FV-QR (paul wall)

I've heard a few times that the Falken FK-452 stretch nearly as well as the 512.
I'm planning on using the 452 when I finally get new wheels for my Bimmer, 8x17 ET20 with 205/40/17 in the front and 9x17 ET22 with 215/40/17 in the back.

welcome to my world
no but really i have the 512's on now and they are even smaller sidewalled than the GRB452's i had before

LedJetta · May 18, 2008

Re: FV-QR (broken dipstick)

those pics you find on the online tire places dont tell you **** dude, you dont know what size the wheels are or what size the tires are.
its the same as being sure a girls hot when all you saw is her myspace pics.

I was thinking the same thing. The 512 looks stretched on the wheel they used. The 912 looks like the "correct" size.
