falken tyre price check

[Nrage33]

Hey all,

just wanted to check if anyone knew the price of 2 falken ZIEX tyres

dimensions are: 265/35/R18.

And is there any good cheap place to get these on the Gold Coast?

thanks

[Chris32]

A mate of mine paid about $300 each here in Adelaide

They have lasted ages as well, very hard wearing tyre. I'd say not the best tyre going around (many people bag them( but they arne't too bad

Hi,

i got em on the rear of my r34 gtt (stocky)... the same 265/35 r18 (ze-326) falkens

not enough grip....

bit iffy in the wet too... i leave tcs on

not rotational either....

last very long thou... have them on there for 20000km and still heaps of tread left and thats with the occasional wheelspinning launches...

got em in syd for 260 each

cheap tyre, lasts long, but not enough grip for my car

cheers

Does anyone know if falken are still making the RT-215 series?

Ive been told they arent making them anymore

Does anyone know who still stocks them?

Nrage33, don't do it! the 326s are cheap as but they are terrible......

[Nrage33]

Yea they don't do very well in the wet, I can agree to that. I've been wheelspinning every time it rains here, at every traffic light. They're low on tread right now, so i just need to replace em quick, no real preference for any other brands. Wouldn't a new set be fairly driveable in the rain?

Anyway, I'll check out the price with your quotes in mind. I figured they might be around $260 each like qtvinsta said, which is still in my range. Has anyone used any better tyres that u'd get at the same price?

Dont do it, they are crap.... shocking in the wet

i paid around $250 each in Melbourne

got a quote today on falken st115 235x17" due to low stock at moment they are expensive 340 a pop i've used the ze512s' and 502s' there not to bad 502's not so good i'd recomend the ZE512 though i've not had them for long. and they still make the RT215

I bought two new falken zeix 235 40 17 tyres for $310 for both 155 each at a sale at an auburn tyre shop advertising in the trading post. I thought this was good price when i saw them so i got em.

They also had same size tyres nankang brand for 130.There were good prices on 18's as well.

If you want to know the shop name and number ill search for it and post it up for use.

ZE326 are compliancing tyres.

Give us the name of the Auburn place.

I'm after some 235/45/17 fronts.

Hi i dont have the name of the place but i can tell you it is on parramatta rd.If you go through the traffic lights just after the railway tracks going towards the city it is on your left and its b4 the mobil petrol station.

Sorry i couldnt get the no: or address i must have thrown it out

[knore]

Yeh they are still making the RT215 series .. thank god!

But they arent any more shipments coming to australia anytime soon.

Only ones i could find are RT215 245/45/17 at $340 fitted

Which is expensive because of low stock. A few months ago you could get 255/40/17 for $310

Things is they dont know when they will be another shipment from japan, so it could be weeks or months.

I had a set of 4 Falken ZIEX. I got 265 in the rears and 235 in the front. Basically right, no traction of the line and the car understeers like heaps. But they have lasted me soo long, roughly 15 months and i still got about 30-40 % rubber left.

Do yourself a favour and spend a hundred or so more per tyre for that piece of mind, cause its worth it.

[locosam]

I just changed from the Ziex 326 to the st115. Theres a big difference (and the st115 arent even rated as a great tyre!) I can actually turn corners in the wet without fear now

[Anquetil]

Their pretty nasty in the wet as already stated, but last a looong time.

They are also the same tread pattern and wear levels as the Nankangs, but the Nankangs are significantly cheaper.

I paid $235 each for 18/265 rears & $185 each for 18/235 front Nankangs.

So yeah, there cheap and nasty.
