Any view on the falken tyre range? im looking at the FK451 for my furby vRS. Are they a hard or soft compound do we know and what kind of grip would i be looking at?

IIRC Faboka vRS has these on his fabia... he should be around soon to give his opinion... think they have very stiff sidewalls tho so may mess up ride quality

they grip ok

dont last as long as pirelli/ goodyear.. but prob as long as toyo..

In the running are the following: -

Yokohama Proxes T1S

Avon ZZ3

Yokohama Parada Spec 2

Falken FK451

Cna i have peoples ideas opinions on this lot? Need to know the wearability (how long till im forking out again) and how good they are and in what conditions?

just put 2 falken 451 on the front of my vrs beter than the mich i took off

loads more grip in the wet.quieter than the mich and no diff in ride

I run ze-512 as the 451 is not avaiable in my size (205/50 15). The 512 are a bit hard on the sidewall, but no ride problems. The rim protector is very good at its job. When a pupil kerbed it big time the steel whell deformed beyond repair but apart from a bit of missing rim protector the tyre was fine. They do seem to wear quick (approx 15000miles till 2mm on the front), but the way I look at about

Anyone have any experience of Kumho KH11'S?

for kumho also see marshall they are often one and the same tyre, cheap and cheerful but not really a performance product.

I'm thinking of uniroyal rainsports for

i rate uniroyals rainsports as a good all-rounder,for grip wear and VFM,

toyo make the proxi btw mate

Just had a set of Toyo T1s fitted yesterday. Too early for an opinion, but early impressions are good.
