LCR Tyres... Falken FK-452...

as good as eagle's are, and i used them for years, i'v had a few other types of tyres the last few tyre changes and been impressed with them all, falkens being one of then

lot of good tyres out there, and with mytyres.co.uk delivering to your door for free, you can't complain!
 
just ordered 2 from the link in brownsters post, £130 a pair delivered from falken tyres.co.uk

I had the on my FR good tyre, altho didnt last too long, about 9K - seems to be the usual for a TDi leon it appears!

Tyre good in both wet and the dry
 
i'm having new r32 alloys fitted next week and i think i'll upgrade to these from the kumhos that come with them, although i've had kumho ecsta supras on my car for over a year now and for 65 quid fitted at skidz they we're pretty good value, just fancy a wee change.
 
Oh the options............................ :confused:

Not sure what to wrap the new alloys in when I get them now.
 
Have bean humming and harring about these tyres. my tyres are dead and is fun in the wet as you never know what will happen!!!:scary:
Will get these on my car as soon as i get back fron the usa in august. atleast i can save a few £££ fitting them myself:p
 
Had these on the back for 4 weeks or so now and they've not let go on me yet. Got mine from Camskill too, definitely a good price and way better than the F1 or the Toyos ... given i only got 3500 miles from the Toys I can't see the FK-452 being any worse and they're cheaper!
 
ordered a pair for the front of mine last thursday afternooon from camskill and they were on my doorstep 8.30 friday morning. had them fitted in the afternoon and have to say the car drives better than with the F1's on.
 
Got my FK452's this morning, having them fitted tomorrow arvo, they certainly look like a good tyre, they seem huge tho' soft compound aswell by the look of it, can't wait to see what their like in the wet..
 
got a bloody puncture on saturday... I could hear a stone (or so I thought) stuck in the tread, so I stopped to pull it out and it was a screw stuck in my drivers tyre! [:@]

I guessed it could be plugged so I went straight to the tyre place I got them from, knowing it normally costs about £10 to plug a tyre.

sure enough they plugged it for me, but bob said no charge for me! :D

so not all bad! :)

Tyres 205/55x 16 cost me £50.80 each from mytyres, delivered.


Getting a local mobile guy to do it, costing £11.00 per wheel, so all in it's cost me £123.60 for 2 tyres, not too bad me thinks, as long as they live up to the hype, i'm a happy man :D:D


going to need a couple on the front in a few months, so i'll see if he can do a comparable price.

sure is! :yes:

the guy who did it said its normally £10 but he said go speak to the owner as I always do, and he said not to worry about it! :D
 
I'd had the 452's on the back for a couple of days now seem very good so far, back end feels a lot more plated than it did before.

I'm so impressed I've just ordered a couple for the front, to replace the rapidly shrinking Couriers, which were on the car when I got it and which are dreadful in the wet. :drive1: and which seem to have more in common with a non stick pan than anything else..

So a result all round i feel....... :D
 
been out for a paddle with the falkens on today.
really pleased with em , good grip in the wet and really smooth on the the motorway, reccomend em for the money.

If anyone in the Glasgow area are looking for these I got 4 fitted at Auto Image in Great Western rd for £310. I know there are better prices posted but thats fitted so saves any hassle getting tyres delivered and trying to get a fitter.

Auto image - 0141 333 0575

He's usually the best price I can find for tyres and have used him for many years.
