Well i have finally bitten the bullet and bought a set of 4 tyres.. Mainly as now i have almost slicks all round and a touch hairy in the wet:drive2:! So i went for a set of falkens. I fitted the rears today, NOT a fun job! Will fit fronts tomorow.. :cry: If any1 has fitted them to there cars, any comments?? Wear well?
 
£260 direct from falken! Plus fitting them myself, as a mechanic! so saving a few £££ on fitting... Mind you really nervous about damaging alloys doing it as had refurb! Good tyre tho yeah?
 
yea great tyre m8.

I paid £280 fitted, and by the sounds of it that £20 for fitting was worth it! ;)
 
£20 sound like a true bargin mate... The old tyres are so flaming tight, i guess as are like elastic bands. look good on the rim tho.. better than the old Pirelli P Zero Rosso rubbish i had on the back.
 
Yeah the gear we go is ok... not looking forward to fitting the rest tho. hay ho, sure they will look fine after i do them.. so badly hope dnt hurt my rims tho. Wot dealer u work for dude?
 
how many people still rate these tyres on a remapped LCR ?

anyone find the acceleration out of corners hairy in wet and dry compared with the zero's?
 
The Rossos imo wear funny, worn in the middle and plenty on the sides. Not the first to comment on that plus they seem iffy in the wet to me.

It's not due to pressures either as I check every week, 33 all round.

the rosso's are a good tyre just not on the leon.

well said!


imo i think the rosso's just didn't suit the LCR and were simply "ok" if that!

the falken 452s seam to handle my stage 2 power very well in both wet and dry conditions and around corners etc much better than the rosso's ever could!

so therefore i think the falkens suit the LCR very well and also happen to be very good value for money! :yes:

they definitely punch above their weight I would say and are on par with tyres costing around the £100 mark! (eagles/pilot sport/toyo's etc)
 
I'm going to try the 452's next time. Saw them up at trax this year, had a chat with the guy on the stand and they sound really good.

I have GSD3's all round at the moment, bt i've nearlly scrubbed a front set out (about 2.5mm left) that were fitted in January, only doing about 5k!!! :-o
 
bugger. i'll give them a try next time round, especially as i'll have stage 2 by then.

on the bright side, it's only the fronts i changed, so the rears will want changing soon, anyway.
