Are these tyres ok?

 

I can get them for £57 fitted (each) while Pirellis etc seem to be about £100 each.

 

Is it worth spending more?

 

My main concerns are noise, longevity and grip in the wet. In the dry all tyres seem pretty good! My car is a N/A.

 

Any recommendations and rough ideas what they'd cost?

 

 

:dance: :dance:

Got the 451s at 18" on the zed and they're fine at £100 - 120 ea and ZE something at 215/45 17 on my other car and they are quite good in the wet and quiet as well. Once the tread is gone nothing is good in the wet! There's always something better out there and more expenseve but the Falkens are an OK compromise and made in Japan. What size do you get for £57? because even the 215/45s 17s cost more than £60 each and they were discounted and a common size these days.

 

Also look at the wear rating on the side. The ones on my zed are 260 I think and the other ones 360. The higher the number the harder the compound the longer in theory they last.

I might get them then. they're standard jap sizes; 225/50-16, V-rated

That includes fitting too!

Thanks for the advice.

Just looked at my other car and its Ziex ZE512 Falkens and they are smooth running, quieter than many I've had on that car and are also exceptionally well balanced but that might have been a decent fitter. Fraid I dont know about the ZE502
