Performance tires will have a stiff and usually noisey ride. If you are just a cruiser the Falken's are a great tire. And don't under estimate them because they are low cost. They also have a warranty and a lot of high performance tires come with no warranty.
Here's some info on them.
Imagine an all season performance tire designed to offer true grip and increased traction that ultimately advances driver confidence whatever the weather condition. With the ZIEX ZE912, Falken has developed a tire with full-depth sipes encircling the tread, coupled with high-volume circumferential grooves and high angle variable cross grooves, that brings together the spirit of performance driving in all climates. When faced with wet conditions, the ZIEX ZE912 features increased hydroplane resistance and increased tread stability by evacuating water away, delivering improved grip composure, while its hybrid-asymmetric pattern produces better dry performance. A genuine touring tire with confidence, through a 65,000 limited mileage warranty on 60/65 series and 40,000 limited mileage warranty on 55 series and under. This results in a tire that performs regardless of the condition of the road each and every season.
* 4 HIGH VOLUME CIRCUMFERENTIAL GROOVES deliver increased hydroplane resistance for improved wet weather performance
* TREADWEAR INDICATORS provide the driver with visual cues to help maximize tire life
* HIGH ANGLE VARIABLE CROSS GROOVES help reduce tire noise
* INFINITE SIPE SEQUENCE increase traction in winter months while improving overall grip
