quick tyre question

whateva411 · 03-10-2014, 08:05 AM

I need to order some tyres today as my rears are a bit low.
At the moment all 4 are falkens. I'm tempted to replace the rears with goodyears and change the fronts later on.
Is this sensible or should I keep the same brand all around?

I "think" you're OK to mix as long as the rears are the same and the fronts are the same. Obviously it's ideal if you can keep all four the same.

Thanks
I don't really want falkens all around and don't really want to shell out for goodyears all around!

You can not change oil to save money, you can not service the car too but Your only Contact to the road is the tyres. Don't skimp on tyres or brakes cost.

But nontheless , you can falken in front and good year at the back.

Falkens are pretty decent tyres to be fair,i have run them on some high powered cars,the new FK453 are IMO just as good as some of the more expensive brands,and thats using them on track too

Since I've had the car the falkens have been pretty good but I was just looking at tyrereviews and they always seem to come outside of the top 10!
Have you got them on your 335d?

had them on two skylines (the 452's though) a TT and an Alfa GTA ,skylines were a GTST (RWD) with 443 bhp and a GTR with just shy of 500 bhp
