Falken tires

[Big Daddy J 300]

i know falken tires are decent in the import scene

has anybody had any experience with Falken tires 265/35/22's on their LX's?

im tire shopping and at $115 per tire it is very tempting!!

all input is greatly appreciated

thanks

Shoot... for that price, try them out anyway and let us know what you think! :thumbs_u:

I'll be "testing" a set of Sumitomo HTR Z3's this year on mine! Only $138 ea. on Tire Rack :pepper:

I had a set of Falken Ziex on my '97 Tbird back around 2K/2k1. They were alright, but I won't waste my money on them again. They were great at first, but they got hard quick and overall didn't last long (about 1 year...20K miles).

Your mileage may vary!

i just got some falkens 255/45/20's on the rear and will be matching up the front in about 4000 miles.... so far they seem good and have a nice tread pattern

The 275-35-20 FK452's are excellent tires for summer use only (noy bad in the rain either).

problem is the cheaper tires are made of hard rubber yeah they last longer and they are cheap but its kind of like when you were a kid in rain they compare to a wet banana or in my time a slip and slide...on dry streets its like trying to take off really fast on a big wheel no traction at all...

[Hemissary]

Not sure what tires you are refering to, it's obviously not the FK452's...

referring to cheap tires in general that's why i said "problem with cheap tires" sorry i don't condone buying sub standard crap i made the mistake of cheap tires once will never make the mistake again...

[Hemissary]

Ah OK, then for sure it's not the FK452's...

[bigal470]

yeah but im sure you cant buy the FK452's for 115 each

[Big Daddy J 300]

The 115 is a hook up price big al they're normally like 130 and up....

Mr I said just to check the weight capacity and temp

What tires are u running?

I also found a set on ebay of Toyos for 615 shipped

[bigal470]

im not a tire expert but i bought some nexens and wow they suck i hear the same stories on other cheap tires like the lexani i know the upper Fakens are better but I would go with the toyos at least you know its a good tire... i have a set of toyos on order

i got a set of those exact tires on my lorenzos w-9's. and they are fine no problems what so ever. i like em. so i would go with them. they look good and ride even better. so go get em.

just checked on the falken tire website the tires have a temp rating of B which is good and the max weight is over 1800lbs, all falken tires come with a 30 day ride quality warranty where if we dont like the way they ride you can give them back, so im going to try them out
