Falken Tires, any good ?

bahndrvr · Apr 25, 2006

Dude, i run the Ziex's, 2nd set, I've ran 155 in my car with them on the Autobahn without them disagreeing with me, this was of course before the 4:10's I've taken them to the NurenburgRing and they do fine, they have a very predictable breaking point which allows me to do some very slight drifts out of the exiting of corners, i tend to not like the higher priced tires because the breakaway point for drifting is higher but they let go all at once. I've got no complaints in the rain either about these, and trust me, it rains alot in Germany.

I say buy em, I'll be buying another set soon for my 98 Cobra rims, Going with 275's in the back this time

Nice review, it's insane how some people say they suck hard and others say they rock for the price.

i hated the falkens i had on my car... i would never recommend them to anyone else. if your looking for a good cheap tire go with sumitomo.

Had Ziex's on my beater over there too. No complaints for the price, and they did fair well with German rain. Not too sure how they'd fare in Louisiana Monsoons though lol. BTW is that a familiar face? lol.

i have 512's all around. im a little disapointed with the looks actually, not the performance. unfortunately, bf goodrich d/c'd my favorite tire, the old 94 cobra t/a's. but anyway, i have no vibration issues, no noise issues. ive had them up to 120 with no problems. dry traction isnt the best, but they are an all season, not a track tire. for the money i spent, im happy.

Keep 'em coming, I might order them anwyay, i'm poor.

Or you could pay 16 dollars more and get the best tire money can buy in a 245/45/17 all around.
