In a word ......... no
Got em on my MY 01 and they dont inspire confidence in the wet, I know a guy with them fitted to a classic that said the same. Just my opinion.

Not that model number but the FK451 Falkens are good.

calling alanjack......

Seriously, I have the FK451 in 215/40/17 on my MY99 and they are just good. (But, nothing like S-02's)
I would say that the ZE512 are not really something for a 200 hp+ car....

They do take a while to bed in.They were quite "slidey"when they were new,but now offer good grip.
