Can i change tyre size or are falkans a good choice8

[adycole]

The time has come to change my tyres.

Currently run Toyo 245/35/18 on the rear but i am being quoted

above £200 for each tyre. I could go cheaper by having falkans at £144/each or

can i reduce the tyre size to 225/40/18 which reduces the toyo price down to £117/each.

cheers ady

Hi Ady which falkens are they? if they are the 452's they are a reel good tyre, personal opions of course but i rate the 452's over the toyo's in grip both wet and dry milage is about the same

[neal1980]

I know of some Falken 452 that have done less than 1000miles that might be for sale on a mates TVR he has changed them for toyo 888's.

255 35 18 and 225 35 18

Let me know If your interested I can send you his details.

Cheers guys,

Daz, they are cheaper cheers, although they are not fitted and balanced but well

worth a look.

V8, It was the falkan 452 i was quoted for, i just asked because i heard from a thread on

here some time ago that they go hard after a short time and may not last as long,

Neal i would be interested in the 255/35 but my fronts are 17 inch. Why did he change

them?

Just add five to ten pounds each for fitting and balancing ..most local tyre fitters will change the tyres for you ..

Again imho the falkens are good choice, i am not telling you to buy them thats your choice!, i used to race in the toyo super road saloons back in the early nineties and the tyres where fantastic, they then bought out the proxes which again where a good tyre, they then brought out the prxes t1s which i thought was crap, far less grip than previous toyo's and wore out very quickly, thats when i tried the falkens on my roa car and have been very happy, its not a tiv, its a 540 bmw but the grip is definettly a lot better than the toyo, as for going hard i usually do a set around every 2 years anyway so cant comment.

Yes, as long as you haven't got a stupidly low suspension set up; you'll get a better ride plus more feel of what the tyre is doing.
