tyre help...
« on: 06 December 2010, 08:45 »
hi, are these tyres ok for a 1.8t 180bhp? anyone had them?

Falken Ziex ZE-912 @ £64.95 or Falken FK-452 @ £72.26  225/40/18. Both available at this price on blackcircles.com

Looking for decent tyres that wont hammer the wallet at this time of year.

Only if people start paying me to repeat myself  :sad:  But in the meantime............

Falken 452's are THE worst tyre I've ever had fitted to a car.  The budget tyres on my girlfriend's Clio are better than those piles of sh!t.  IN fact, sh!t is better than Falkens

Here endeth my two pence

I'm sure Steve will be along shortly to re-iterate what I've just typed  :grin: :grin:

Yeah, but Nigel lives in Manchester, thus his opinion is void :D
