    Falken tires

    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!

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

    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!

    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...
