Default Good Tires??

Hey guys....
Wanted to know if anyone had experiences with Falken tires. Good? Bad? They are going to go on my new te37's, sizes are 215/40/18 front and 245/35/18 back.

HeNeSSeY,

Haha...you found the only company that makes both 215/40/18 and 245/35/18.

Some of my friends use their tires...no complaints.

HeNeSSeY,

For 18x7.5 and 18x8.5, 215/40/18 and 245/35/18 fits really good, overalldiameters are close as heck to stock...it's just that no one really makes both sizes.

I really like the Toyo Proxes T1-S I am running on (245/35/18). What sux is that they don't make a 215/40/18...so I am using the Yokohama Parada in front (don't like them very much).

The next set I may try to bump up my tire sizes to 255/35/18 and 225/40/18 with the Toyo T1-S. I might have some rubbing issues...but at least I can raise the car with the coil overs if that happens.

Personally, I feel that even the JDM Falken tyres aren't up to standards compared to Bridgestones, Yokohamas or even Dunlop and Michelin.

Agreed Takashi, in my opinion you can't go past the OEM S02s for the street.
