Question Anyone used Falken ze-512 (50 series)?

I am looking to replace my tires (205-50-16 size) and am going to keep this same size. Anyone know if Falken ZE 512 is a quiet/noisy tire? Decent ride or rough ride? Do they track pretty straight (I've experienced that some tires tend to hunt from side to side while other tires help to keep your steering locked in straight line)
Thanks for your help everybody.

I had them on my '00 Civic Si and Loved Them!
Quiet, great traction in & out of rain, Rim lip protector, long wear rating......and not bad on price.

Overall a Great Tire IMHO

If your looking for long tread life the 512s are great at 360 tread wear but there a all season tire witch means some performance will be lost do to all season handeling. I too have a set of 512s 205\50\15s .There not a summer tire thow a summer tire will grip harder coner sharper and have a stiffer feel but the tread life will be lower do to the sticky compounds example azeniz 612s tread wear 200 hope this helps
