Falken zeix ZE 512 vs BFG g-force sport

I'm thinking about either of these tires on my 91 NA. These would go on my stock rims, I have another set of 245/45/16 with toyo proxies t1-s on them. They're the same price at the place I'll be getting them at.

Does anyone have experience with these? I think they would be my non- autox tire. Probably driven more in the rain/snow than the average person too.

Also consider Kumho SPT, Yokohama s.Drive and Fuzion ZRi, all in about the same performance segment.

I've used SPT's and was quite happy with them. I'd definetely buy them again.

I've had both on my old Impreza. The ze512 felt like garbage. They lacked traction and would make noise with little effort. The geforce sport were a quite a bit better. They rode better, had more traction, and weren't as noisy. Of course those are just my opinions, actual experience may vary.

As Black91n/a said, you might give the kumho ecsta spt a try, as they are cheaper than the other two (well the last time I was tire shopping they were anyways) and have similar performance. My cousin has them on his daily and I have nothing to really complain about them.
