I have Falken Ziex tyres on my ZR (read: GT-S) Celica.

They are absolute rubbish and I would not recommend them to anyone. They have no grip compared to the stock Yokohamas and they seem to be wearing quite quickly as well - not quickly enough as I want to get rid of them and get some decent tyres!

I've never driven them in the snow, but they seem OK in the wet, so they should not have any problem with light snow.

I can't get over how bad the DRY road performance of them is!!!!

To be honest with you, I would spend a bit extra and get something more suited to the Celica.

Hope this helps.

I don't recommend them either, they suck on wet weather....well I have a Ziex 502 and one Dunlop W10 both v-rated in the front. And they seen to be horrible on wet weather, not sure which one though......but I think it is the Ziex.....
