Currently has Goodyear RSA's, stock rims etc. I am looking for a good, but inexpensive, 3 season replacement tire for the stock rims. I commute 100 kms daily, and want a tire that is good in wet weather. I am looking at Falken 512's. Any recommendations would be appreciated.Welcome ... and I can heartily recommend the Falkens. I've put about 10k on mine and for me it's one of the best tires I've had at any price - an excellent combination IMO of ride, handling and comfort.
Thanks!

Excellent in both dry and wet, very quiet and my installer says it's one of the easier tires to balance (made in Japan, which is a good thing) - and indeed it took hardly any weight at all to balance them.
It may be a bit early for me to make a determination about tread wear, but visually they look like they're wearing well.
Good luck with your selection.
