Default just like any other all season, they will probably "get you through" the snow....

But they will not perform as well as the WR or the NRW in the snow.. but they might perform better on the dry.

Also, the Falken 512s seem to be designed more around wet/dry, not snow/ice. (channels for water to be evacuated, but no sipes for winter)

However, I was unable to find the tire size in 195/60/14.

Default Correct, a dedicated snow tire will perform better in the snow for sure, but...

The ZE512 is a great (and inexpensive) alternative

BTW we dont show the size but we do stock it

Default according to the Nokian NA site... ...they actually have a WR in 195/60/14 (my bad)

interesting that they label it an 'all-season' here, but in the world site lists it as a winter tire...

either way, I'm happy.

Thanks fellas

Default umm if that's nokian.com, don't believe it.

:-)

I thought it was a WR as well, I think based on part number, it's actually an NRW listed with the WR tires.. if you find otherwise, please let me know!

Thanks!
