I have used Falken tires several times in the past and am using them (ziex) now on my 1990 300CE. My first experience was several years ago and they were useless on my 1976 Jaguar XJ12C (I have a coupe phobia) so I was reluctant to try them again. I am on my second set of zeix tires (225/45-17 on after-market rims) and I love them - great ride, great wear, great handling, quiet, etc, etc (I like my cars a little on the "sport" side, but also "all around" - i.e. the 17in. wheels and H.D. bilstein shocks, etc).
