Default Tyre Advice

Hey folks, time has come to purchase a new set of tyres on 3 of the 4 corners, the existing tyres fitted are the Bridgestone Potenza's RE050 which i am more than likely gonna buy at £120 a pop however I have seen some Falken FK-452's at around £70 each which have very good reviews. Thanks TbZ

I was running falkens on my previous 17's and for a mid range budget tyre they were surprisingly good. Mixed reviews if you search the web, but from personal experience "competent"

However, im currently running the Toyo Proxes, ( a little wider and on 18s so not an exact comparison) and I have to say that I overall I am exceptionally happy with these and feel they are considerably better than the falkens, especially in wet conditions.

You pays your money and takes your choice, but I would pay the extra if you can afford it. Tyres and Brakes you cant skimp on.

Camskill not bad for mail order tyres
