Default Falken ze 512- ever used 'em?

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with these tires.
I've only found two reviews on them. One says they're excellent, the other says stay clear. (Same w/ the kumhos actually).
My Michelins went 40,000 miles (2 sets), my Kumho 712's have only gone 30,000.

Just wanted REAL opinions from REAL people (about the Falkens).

Thanks ahead!!

yup yup, i have em, 205/40R17z and i think that they're great. i had kuhmo ecstas on my stockies, and the grip that the falkens give are worlds better. they DO wear faster than expected, but the performance sorta makes up for it. and i AM comparing R15s to R17s... so keep that in mind with my review.
the rim protection ridge is also a great feature, i'll definitely make sure my next tires have it when these wear out. My gravel driveway would have messed up my rims without it.
