Sorry to butt in guys, but its time for a new front pair for the CTR. The Cosworth boys tell me that Falken Tyres are well worth looking at..........what do you Scooby pilots think?

Thumbs up

Got them on mine and they are a very good around tyre.
Had them fitted to past cars and never had any trouble..even after loads of abuse on the track!!

Apparently they are made by Dunlop in Japan,and they have their own race series over there i believe so they can't be that bad.

I had a new set of Falkens on mine when I bought my Scooby and thought they were gr8 until I changed them for Pirelli PZero's - they are much better all round.
Agree with the Falkens not being so good in the wet (remember it well !! lol )

I've had them (FK451)and they were great, the wear rating is good and only because the new wheels i bought came as a deal with Toyo's i would have kept them.
Dry they are good wet not too bad, i would rate them better than the Toyo's as an allrounder.
