Falken Tires
 
Anybody heard of these???pros...cons...Have a person who told me they could mount and balance two for $250. What do you guys think?

Heard of Falken wheels, but not tires.

I checked out the website and they look to be geared more for looks than performance.

I recommend that you spend a little more money and do some research at www.tirerack.com

I have Falken tires on my CRX. They are good tires they are way better than the pirellis that I had on there before.

I like em'

How good of a deal it is depends on what model tire they are, but I do know that the new Falken Ulta-High Performance tire (can't remember what it's called) was rated very high.

Thanks guys, my wheel specs are stock "17...245/45/17. Dark 5.0, do you have the tires w/ the one rain strip on the inside or the tires with the strip on both sides?

I've got the Falken 502 Ziex something or other. To tired to go out to the garage and look. I'm happy with my tires. They were a much better deal than the other high performance tires and I hear there new performance tires are good quality. I get real good wet tracktion and burnouts a real quiet, no major squealing, meaning the tires are a real hard rubber compund i guess. Would I buy a new set of Falkens? Yes , if I drive the limited miles I put on my car, in basically good weather. No, If I go to the track or drive in messy weather or alot of miles. You usually get what you pay for!. But if you are on a budget they are a really nice tire for the cost!!:p P.S. mine have the two rain gutters down the middle.

Good luck

Another good tire for the price is the Dunlop SP8000. They are a Z-rated ultra-high performance tire. Great wet and dry traction - I have them on my '00.

I myself have a set of Falken Ziex. They are a good tire, especially for wet traction. Falken also claims it to be a 30,000 mile tire. I like the tire except for dry traction problems. If you ever street race. They do NOT hook at all! But, besides that they are a good tire. And yes, they are a very hard compounded tire.
