Anyone have any experience with this type of tire...

Or better yet, anything you can highly recommend for high performance?

I own the Ziex 512s and have been very happy with them as a daily driven high-performance tire. I've owned three sets (on three different cars).

To be honest, Im using their 512's right now, and yes they are quiet, so far with maybe 15,000 miles on them, and even with abuse, they are wearing equally. The grip is good on dry streets but take a turn to sharply and goodbye grip especially on wet grounds(I dont remember about this when they were new, but I still got another 10,0000 miles more before they need to be changed)

I have 512 as well...i use them for DD and autox until i can save up for sum rt615 but the 512 are decent....grip is good, ride is ok

from what they say, the 912 is the step up, only improving on what the older model has... I think for the price I cant really beat it, more than likely this will be my next set on them ole 15's (195/60/15)

i had 512's in 235-45-17 on my matrix....i loved 'em. i liked the good wet and dry grip and the fact taht i could run them late into the season.

bottom line, im lookin at 912's for the yaris when i get rims...

512's are fine for me and I'm sure the 912's are even better

I just got 912s on my new rims and so far so good. Good grip in rain and dry in my 2 week experience but I don't find them quieter then my old stock tires
