They're not 326's are they???

[Beer Baron]

I will wager you a wench of virtue that they are FK326s!

No thanks...I don't like losing

[Beer Baron]

man, I really wanted that virtuous wench...

[Duncan]

bound to be 326s....they are cheap for a reason...try a search for Falken 326 in the suspension section

I'm not suggesting you take tempe's recommendation about what to buy, just they they will probably be the cheapest for whatever you have decided on....

[Tommyk]

Falken 326's are absolute rubbish

Especially in the wet

I have them on the gtr, and it gets damn slippery in the wet. Even with all four paws on the ground

You get what you pay for. But they'll last you for quite a while. Ive done just over 10k on my tyres since i got them, and they look like theyve hardly worn

[siksII]

i have them on the front, and yes they are rubbish, mine seem pretty new but the rubber on the edges has gone nice and bubbly from skidpan day they got treated like they deserve ehehehe

btw. falken 326s i think are the upper class tyre are tempe currently, as nowdays they also sell NANKANGs, which are even cheaper/worse!

[shonen]

hmm actually I found the nankangs to be better than the 326s.....only marginally though

Falken dont make the GRBs anymore do they ?

[hanyou]

i just found the new meaning of no grip i knew there was a catch to $200 tyres at 265/40/17.....

haha owned...! hopefully with no damage/death tho!

Keep them for drift/skidpan days? Or sell them to some riceburner for his civic...?

Just on the topic of falkens though - do they make good tyres? a mate with a modded integra type r was saying they're awesome (forget what model tyre tho)...

Anybody got a suggestion for a set of good tyres (for a FWD ) for around the $1200 (for all four) mark?

Cheers.

Yes Falken do make good tyres. You can't look at the base model (326s) and then judge the rest of the tyre range from that. From what I've read the 512s are decent as street tyres.

I did some reading/searching last night and I also found positive reviews for the Hankook Ventus Sport K104:

They seem to be cheap (~$250 a tyre) and good so at the moment they seem to be front runner in my choice of rubber when I get a chance to get some new rims.

No...512s are rubbish too.

FK451s are good and are a replacement for the old GRB

[siksII]

yes i second that 451s are a decent tyre nothing like a 326.

[KNG-32R]

top ten at villawood are good and cheap to just got some tyres from them tonight
