New tyres needed....

[satilaboy]

i'm going to keep an eye on this thread as i'm looking for new tyres soon. interested to hear more on these falkens.

i have 2 falkens being delivered that im fitting to the rear before my mot. will let you guys know what i think.

So, how have you guys found the FK-452's, any good. I'm going to be replacing my alloys at the end of the month and i'm thinking about getting some FK-452's as well.

Waiting to get my Falkens fitted. Bought them from here:

Excellent price and very quick delivery! Great allround service and I'd thoroughly recommend them

Excellent. Next do I get 17" or 18" wheels

I have the Dunlop SP Sport 9090 on and so far they have gripped as good as the F1s in the dry and better in the wet, I am hoping they last longer than the F1s did as well, got 5500 miles out of the fronts

By the way as far as I am aware you don't need XL tyres on the FR as it has 17" wheels with a 45 profile rating tyre where as the LCR has 18" wheels with 40 profile tyre so needs the XL tyre wall.

Update on the Avon ZZ3's. Got them all round now and very impressed - excellent dry grip and much better than the F1's in the wet. Nice tread pattern too - not that I spend long looking at the pattern...

Toyo Proxies T1-R's are good imo

Have used them for the last 3 years (T1-S's before T1-R's available) on LCR and TDi great in the wet, good in the dry. plus they look cool

The Goodyear F1 GS3Ds have now been replaced by EAGLE F1 Asymmetric and they are suppose to be better however not seen a lot of reviews on them yet. I'm probaly going to try a pair of them but not 100% certain yet hoping a good group review will come out before I need them in a month or so.

Currently looking to get 2 tyres in the near future - defo. agree about the Toyo's & Avon's tread pattern!

 

[Cowie]

getting the falkens fitted today or tmrw depends when the RS6 alloys land,

Im not sure about F1's.. I got 4 of them a month ago and they seem fine at first. Now the car seems very unstable at 100+mph, must be the tyres
