Hi folks,

Well after 3 years the Nankangs on the front of my FD look to finally need replacing and I\'ve been looking at these.

Not after the best of the best because I can\'t afford them. They\'re just going on the front for the moment and will be 235/40 18s.

Any thoughts on the Falkens?

Cheers :)

Paul.

I have them all round on my car too, fantastic tyres for the price.

Oh and I found ordering direct from Falken to be much cheaper than any of the so called bargain tyre sites (blackcircles, mytyres etc)

Great tyres for the price - had them on the FD and 200SX\'s.

I\'m not surprised that the Nankangs lasted 3 years wear on the front, what I am surpised at is that they haven\'t killed you by understeering you into a hedge in those 3 years.

Hateful things, Bleurgh.

Only bonus is that they are made of rocks, so last literally forever. There are 3 things in this world that will survide a nuclear war:
....roaches. (Oh FFS swear filter, that\'s frickin\' ridiculous!)

All Nankang tyres ever made.

The Springfield tyre fire is made of Nankang NS2\'s, that\'s why it burns with an eternal flame. Fact.

Another thumbs up for 452\'s from me, on my second set and apart from my toe-in wearing out the fronts too quick they have been faultless.

Plus they stand up to light (note: light) track abuse, without falling apart, like the old Eagle F1 GSD3\'s did.
