felken 452

[daz the plumber]

does any one have falken tyres fitted ?ive noticed the toyas have jump up in price ,as they are a budget tyre and now nearly as expensive as the good year eagles .thanks

I've got Falken 452's on the rear on 17" rims. They are absolutely brilliant in my opinion.

i have had 452s on my Griff twice now and very happy. good wear rate, very grippy, great in the wet and only need to be cured for about 100 miles or so before bedded in very nicely. not so easy to do that in these conditions mind you!

[Pupp]

Also worth looking at Kumho KU31s

Another thumbs up for the Falkens

im purchasing some pro race wheels ,i am very happy with toyas but they are not priced as a budget tyre any more so its eather falkens or the kumho ecsta ku31.do you think the goodyear eagles are superior to the faklen and kumho.toyas are around the same price as the eagles , i wonder why !i have a set of toyas with the full 8mm like new 2x 205/55/15 and 2x225/50/16 with some after market allesio wheels ,correct off sets purchased by the insurance company as they would only supply new after market wheels .http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q348/daztheplumber/Picture300.jpg

... because they aren't. They're one of very few 'serious' options left for our cars, and as good as any. Having said that, the Falkens are said to be quite alright, too.

My tracktime was better with the current falken FK452 then with the standard fitted Toyo's.

But also different sizes I have to say:

Toyoas fitted when new on std. imola's.
F: 225/45-16
B: 245/45-16

Falkenon SP12's)
F: 235/40-17
B: 255/35-18


I can also add that in my opinion the width of the falkens seems smaller then some of the same sized competitor tyres.

Hope this helps. . .

i went to a local tyre supplier today, they said they like the kumho ecsta ku31 over the falken 452. they sell both .toyas are out of the question ,so its eather kumho or felken .the toyas are around the same price as the good year eagle.i thought toyas are a budget tyre !http://www.camskill.co.uk/
