i have a 2001 integra lowered 2.5 at all four corners i also after market strut bars front and rear.Upper and lower.A factory front sway bar and a itr rear sway bar also a c-piller bar ... my problem is that i replaced my tires the other day I went from kumho 711 to falken ziex 512 the car drove like it was on rails with the 711s and know with the 512s the ass end is so lose I do not understant this drastic differance the tire size is the same as before 205-50-15 the only differrance that I noticed the 512s tread wear was higher and they have a rim guard someone help also ingalls camber kit in the front but nothing in the rear its beb that way for fours again please someone help WOULD A REAR CAMBER KIT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM...???

 

What? I couldn't make half of that out. Falken Ziex's suck. Those are horrible tires IMO. If that's the only change you made and you had a difference, then it must be the tires.

 

because the kumhos were three years old pretty much shot

 

+1 on the tires if no other changes were made.

 

what tires would you guys use then

 

ttt

 

my head hurts now.

Anywho......, I've been running Ziex 512's for over a year now and don't have a single dislike about them.
Is it the front, back, or both that feel sloppy?
Maybe when they did the alignment...they adjusted the camber more positive then before and created oversteer.
Installing a camber kit/shimming the rear out will not give you the feel your looking for, it's not enough adjustment to make day/night difference.

It is possible the Ziex's have a softer side wall then the Kumho's....And maybe the rim guard could have something to do with the sloppy handling, But I guess your going to have to live with it or get another new set of tires.

 

yeah..........

 

I found the problem its the tires not saying that falken makes a bad tire but however my options were limited from falken,dunlop,firestone,hankook.toyo,do to price I went falken 512s the site got them from DID NOT SAY THAT THEY WERE A ALL SEASON TIRE I talked to a rep at tirerack he stated that it does not matter the tread were or side wall type. A summer tire my old 711s kumho will always out perform a ALL SEASON TIRE !!!that explains my shitty handling in the rear of my car

 

Ha, Falken 512's are the most suckass horrible wanna-be sporty tires out there. When you can feel pronounced sidewall movement, that's bad, hahahaha.
