Avon M550 A/S or Falken Ziex 512???

I'm looking for a set of all season tires for a CT driven car that has HR springs. I'm not going to get snows. The runflats are finally coming off. Anybody have experience with the M550 and the Ziex 512? Thanks for the help.

Though I don't have personal experience, a lot of the G35 guys are picking up these and the summer only sets (avons). I haven't heard one bad thing about them yet (and most of the G35 drivers are coming from Pilot Sports $$$). I've never personally liked Falken tires, though I really don't have much of a reason except for a really cheap set that a friend of mine bought. They had no grip and tended to wear out very quickly (Don't know which ones he had). Read some of the reviews on www.tirerack.com about the avons and see if you can find any reviews of the falkens on the internet. Right now, the avon's are rated #1 on tirerack, beating out a bunch of much more expensive tires.
