Default Falken ZIEX ZE-512 on my 96 LS400 ?

I have been trying to get ConttiExtremeContact tires in 225/60 R16 for a while now and finding that they are backordered everywhere. They seem to be right in the ballpark for price and have really good noise level and rain/snow handling.

Someone suggested the Falken ZIEX ZE-512 tires, and I noticed they were a little bit cheaper. They have a nice tread design but, I can't find any specs on them where I can compair them directly with the Conti tires. It's very important to me that they are a quiet tire, and give a ride that I expect from my LS but, also needs great rain/snow handling.

Anyone have these on their LS and what are your thoughts on them? Yea, I know the tirerack does not carry them so, I can't order or see specs though them.

Thoughts ?
