I can recommend both Falkens on your list - I've had both and liked them both ... the 512s are unidirectional where the 912s aren't and teh 512s to me seemed a bit more aggressive/sporty and the 912s, although still a lot of grip wet or dry, are a bit more quiet - both are very smooth running tires.

And I'll sugest the Kumho KU 25 new to the market of last year, great tire in wet dry and comfort if you get it in the H rating. I prefer the General exclaim UHP myself. Both are well priced and well proven on and off the track.

If you're talking about Megawheelz, this is there busy season right now just before winter. Like I said best to go in on the Sat cause they aren't that busy then. Either way glad you found some new wheels.

I'd go with the Ziex. They're excellent street tires, and long lasting!
