Dan K Member 40 Member For: 19y 4m 11d Gender: Male Location: Stanthorpe Qld Posted 11/06/07 10:36 AM Share Posted 11/06/07 10:36 AM I am currently running Falken Ziex 245/35/19 front and rear ( all but empty ). While they have lasted me 30 000k's they would have to be the loudest tyres I have experienced. On hotmix they are no worries but as soon as you hit the larger 10mm bitumen it is falken ridiculous!! Now that it is time to replace, can anyone recommend a suitable tyre? I dont want to spend more than $500 a corner. Some mods on the way soon as well. Looking towards 300kw mark. So something quiet with decent traction would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told the Goodyear F1 GD03 and Toyo Proxes TR1 are both good in terms of grip and reasonably quiet. You should be able to pick them up for under $400.I've also heard the new Falken 452 are ok as well but also not first hand, sorry.CheersBig AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also will perform 10x better than the Falkens and last about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found them to be relatively quiet and have great grip in all conditions. Under $300 a corner for those ones. Great value tyre in my opinion.

Please advise what you think as I'm thinking of getting them.Cost about $199 per corner for 17". There has been tyre tests done recently on these and have been rated highly and are a very quite tyre.

Reminded me of my old Pirelli P Zero Nero's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/06/07 12:45 AM Share Posted 13/06/07 12:45 AM I have the maxxis tyres ( MA-Z1)and have had them on for about 25,000 K's (about 2/3rd worn)and are really happy with them. They are not as good as the premium brands ( I have been in other members cars)but in my opinion they are great value for money and perform better than ther original Dunlops.I'm running edit only with approx 260RWKW.Gassit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 235/40/18s were $340 a corner.Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
