Which one is the better tyre and why?

[Marsss]

About to invest and would like some advice peeps...:confused:

[benm]

I wouldn't get any of the above.

My choice would be; Michelin, Bridgestone or Dunlop.

[Duncan]

Which model in each brand? most brands have good and bad tyres......

[GTRgeoff]

Dunlop 9000SP. Fastest standard road tyre I have ever raced on.

[Marsss]

I understand there are better tyres on the market... but i'd like opinions out of these three..... if that's ok...

Hey mate if its the price ur worried about, go for the hankook k104's. Ive got them on my car at the moment. Much better than the falkens and around the same price. Do a search on the forums for them and u see all the good feedback on them.

N e ways im not sure what GT is so out of Nankang and Falken, id go for the falkens. Also if they are the ze326 ive heard a lot of bad things about em

[Mik]

Falken...only because they are the only one of the three not made in a third world country.

But... 326s and 512s are rubbish

[MANWHOR3]

Falken grb fk451 IF they are in your price range. If not, go for the nangkang nsII.

:werd:

You can't just evaluate brands, you need to be specific. For instance, anything in the Falken Ziex range is generally thought of as rubbish, whilst their FKs are quite well regarded (for the money).

LW.

those three brands collectively probably make around 50 different types of passenger car tyre. not to go into fully slick tryres etc. so unless you can narrow it down a bit mate, no-one is going to be able to answer your question.

[wrxhoon]

The only tyres that i would buy ( from the above ) are falken 451 's .

Stay away from 326's and 512's .

The reason i posted this in the first place is because, well... i'm clueless when it comes to which one i should buy therefore i figured those who have tried the different ones would know by experience... i cannot trust wot the guy trying to make a buck out of me is gonna tell me so i ask.. obviously out of the fifty or so models of tyres there are only a select few that will suit an 18" rim... i guess i took for granted that you'd understand that...and BTW, a few have already answered my question... or at least made things a bit clearer

Cheers champ!

You know there's a whole tyres forum right?

What? And show some initiative by doing the research yourself, instead of just asking uselessly broad questions and expecting people to give you an answer on a silver platter?

Nah!
