  • ...what?

  • Good question!

    Falken Ziex 512s only have a 7.7 inch treadwidth -- and why I have them up front. Ziex 912s have a 8.1 inch treadwidth -- so a little more tire width and ground contact.

    With the narrower 7.7 inch treadwidth, there's a slight bit of stretch on the tires, making the sidewalls point inwards at about a 75-80 degree angle. Doesn't seem like a whole lot, but definitely gives the slight bit of extra space I need to run that low without rubbing.
