Fantastic grip and pretty good in the wet as well.Just a bit noisy on the highway but that's the compromise with a semi..Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72349-what-tyres-do-you-use/#findComment-1066930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_John_ Member 287 Member For: 14y 8m 27d Gender: Male Posted 26/12/10 10:55 PM Share Posted 26/12/10 10:55 PM Falken FK 452. You can get `em for 300 or less each they as quiet as a 19 inch tyre is ever going to be and seem to grip under any conditons I encounter.Much better than the marangoni mishaps I had on previously.

EvilDaifu Cruise Whore Moderating Team 5,130 Member For: 19y 11m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 27/12/10 03:13 AM Share Posted 27/12/10 03:13 AM Here's one I started and walked the talk - I replaced my Dunlop SP 3000 OEM tyres for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics and the difference is farrrkn unbelieveable (but true). If you have a first time tune, it's gonna be almost mandatory to factor in another grand for newer better tyres than the OEM ones if you still wear them. I did a bit of research and was leaning towards the Falken FK452 but found the F1 Assymemetrics I could pick up for same price after we reached parity with the US dollar for some reason (don't know why because I thought most tyres were made in China! )Anyway, good luck in your search Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72349-what-tyres-do-you-use/#findComment-1067002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 7m 24d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 27/12/10 06:01 AM Share Posted 27/12/10 06:01 AM If your stock dunlops are tired, even a new set will feel better, someone did just that and confirmed it.I use Kumho KU31's, got them for 175 each fitted and balanced, though that's in 235/45/17 size. Good grip and longevity for my power levels and fantastic for the price.
