    I have recently fitted falkens to the fronts, better than the

    yokohamas that were there, Have avons on the rear, have heard mixed

    view about these, when they need replacing, i'll be going for

    falkens on the rear too. Reckon toyo proxes are about the best

    available.

    Yeah i've got the falkens on the front too, and they have been good, can get them for £85, just wondering how much better the F1's are at £121

    I had those falkens. Not the best but good value for money. The trye is a good mid performance choice of the Z.

     

    the Kumho 712 are what I had on my car on when I bought it and I would say they are dangerous for a car like the Z

    You need to know what rim size your wheel is. If you put a tyre which is too large for the wheel, it will cause it to bulge out decreasing the area which is in contact with the road.

    WHY do you say Kumho 712 are dangerous. I've had them on a beemer and they were fine? And they are cheap
