Will these fit my furbie vRS on 7.5x17 rims They retail out at

Any comments guy's?

Falkens are good but wear quick nice feel to them. About 15k for the fronts but at that price....

Be running 512 on the Furby since last october/november. Done 2 trackdays. Compound nice and soft. grips well in dry and wet. Much better than the standard michelins. Compared to the stanard michelins the steering was lighter. Would I buy them again. Nope! Why? Because they are bloody uncomfy. Tyres walls are pretty hard. You can run these things flat.

As Andy says they dont last long. Fronts lasted about 7K incl 1 track day. Brunter pretty much killed them. Thinking about Toyo's next.

Yep agree about the side walls. The rim protector is a brute, but is damm good at its job esp. when kerbed! Beeen thinking about the toyos myself esp. the r spec

Just ordered a set for Nicci's clio. T1R's be nice to see if their as good as everyone says. If so might get some for the furby.

Hmm I thought Jason had Falkens on the rear of his ex-furby :rubchin:

I now have Toyo T1Rs fitted to my rims in 215/40/17 size :D Although my audi alloys are wider so really fit/look better with 215-width rubber on them.

Toyo-wise, I'm quite happy with mine. Yes, the ride is stiffish but steering grip is very good and they're not too shabby in the wet. Although, have to say I don't rate them too highly on grip when braking - manage to lock them up far too easily. But that's probably just down to excessive braking power :P

Nah jason had marshalls on the back and toyo's on the front if i remember right... Not a good combination!

The ST115s of Falken at that size are really good. And they don't wear quick unless you do tracks alot, I've had two sets of Falkens on my car in the past 3 years, ST115s.

IMO they're a good choice, it's up to u from there. VERY grippy tyres.

What Width rims have you got.......I run 7.5 x17's

Same as on Xav's car.

Ahh yes, Marshalls.

Lummie, out of interest, what's the OEM alloy width? Is it 7 or 6.5 inchers ?

I believe its 6.5"
