i am going to get rims soon and they come with falken tires. I was wondering if any of you have falken tires and if so, are they good? lot of flats?

[LOLrance]

Depends on what kind of falken tires. And flats dont have to do anything with the tire itself, it deals with the area you drive and what you run over.

If FK452s, I have heard that they are great. I am getting them next.

I had a pair of falkens on my AC's. Wasnt too happy with them although they are pretty cheap. Switched to the nitto invos and am really happy.

falkens always listed "not recommended" on any tests I've read.

^Why is that???

Good bang for the buck imho. Im running FK452s on both my 335 and my Boxster and ive been very happy with them as an overall daily driver/sometimes performance driving tire. Treadwear is decent, they ride quiet and grip is good in both the wet and dry. For the price i dont think there are many tires out there that can match them.

[jeho]

all falken tires have been the best bang for the buck in their price ranges...

fk452
ziex912
azenis st615 (for that price, its the best tire for autox/track since thats the purpose...just no wet support haha)

I actually waiting for UPS to delivery my wheels today and I ordered the Falkens 452's, all the vendors have something good to said.

Last year Falkens were the #1 recommended tire by Consumer Reports here between performance and value.

I have a set of Falken ZE-512's on my Benz and am very happy with them; smooth, comfortable, holds a straight line, much better in rain than the previous Continentals, etc... Plus my car was sitting in storage for 6 months without moving an inch over the winter, they did not show any evidence of flatspotting when I finally took the car out.

waiting to mount Falken Azenis Rt615's on some track wheels....granted these are mainly for autox and track days. but I have had Falkens before and I really like the ride quality, just that treadwear wore out faster...but that is due to driver

+1 My friend has the Invos on and they are quieter than the FK452. The Invo is my next set, as well

I like my 452's - good value and performance. They have been good in the dry and are much quieter now that I have put over 500 miles on them. I drove through a huge puddle that I could not avoid (single express lane) and there wasn't even a hint of hydroplane. They do tramline quite a bit, though, but I do have 245's in the front. You can't beat $700 for a set of 19's
