My 350z tyre review:
Many of you have tried quite a few tyres, many thinks for all the info you have all contributed. Sure helped me choose my tyres.
So far I’ve seen the older Falken tyre reviewed here, so here are my thoughts on the newer 510’s.
New:
Falken FK510
Standard sizes 245/45 rear and 225/45 front.
Great tyre, great price. As everyone has already said, they are far better for the UK climate. Grip and handling is up nicely and road noise is a little down too. They feel more predictable and if I give too much throttle they don’t make the traction control kick in as much.
Old (when I bought the car):
Standard Bridgestone Potenza’s on the rear
Nokian ZLine on the front
Yeap, same as everyone here, Bridgestone’s suuuuuck. Only good when it’s warm, +15 Degrees Celcius. But yes the upside is low wear, my half worn tyres lasted over a year about 12-15k miles. Nokian’s, well I must say they were pretty impressive. I think it may be due to the fact that Nokian make amazing winter tyres and the compound is more suited to UK, I prefer them over the Bridgestone’s too, but not the Falken's. If I were to buy a winter tyre I would look no further than Nokian, probably WR A4.
That’s my 2p J Cheers All
