Yes an no mate if there **** on the mini with all the weight over the front tyres id be scared with a car with 300bhp with only the back off the car over the rear tyres
no no no , you cant say that ..totally different cars and handling...I,d rather listen to someone who has a 350Z with these tyres on than someone with a mini
Ok in a straight line i expectto get beat
now your talking sense

Yeah mate has them an hates them. Hummm!
On what car - not much point comparing same tyres on different cars
A 215BHP fwd MINI
but thats not a 350Z ., no good saying tyres are no good if your not comparing like for like???

Maybe the reason the "drifters" use them is because they have little or no grip?? (I have no personal experience of them - just a thought)
maybe they use them ,cos there the cheapest LOL
-
as soon as I get them on I,ll put in a road test report
price is good though £110 inc vat fitted and balanced 
-
might want to send them to only those members who actually want them????
I suspect there's a few members who are not what they seem on here
I,m me honestly

I,m going to put some new tyres on the car,(fed up with the crap Bridgestones !!
) been quoted a very reasonable price on some Falkens ,never used this brand before,they are a Japanese make so I,m hoping they will be a decent make..Tyre retailer says a lot of track day people use them .., anyone on here had any experience good or bad with them? Cheers Tim -
Go on you have twister my arm i think i can get them out next week to all members for the price of half a pint, hows that for a deal.
well I,ll take two...thats a pint then ?

Wow just seen "The Run" dvd
...if I hadnt bought a 350Z ,I,d go and buy one anyway ..what a great advert for Nissan..any one else viewed this ? not quite as thrilling as the "Rendezvous " footage with the V12 Ferrari gunning it through Paris on unclosed roads.. 
but still very good .. -
Thanks for swift reply, Please let me know when they are available
all the best Tim -
Hi , been on the site about 3 weeks now since buying a Z, notice that you can get a "free " sticker after your 350th post..!!
I aint never going to reach that 
any chance of spotting someone up with some readies ? so I can have one for my back window Cheers Tim -
some of you may love this?
Come on then where do I buy one?
-
The US and European connections are the same, the Jap ones are different.
Gus
Thanks for that .
.they will suit mine ,may have a bid for those then -
For a JDM model unless you're into a bit of wire cutting and soldering.
Why A JDM model ? are they different to UK models on the lights ??
-
Your not serious thats going to stop any noise ? that must be the most expensive piece of plastic I,ve ever seen,probably cheaper to have one custom made from GOLD
-
Thanks for all the tips and advice guys
you surely know how to spend someone else,s dough He He -
Jesus !! I was only moaning about tyre noise
The next thing I know I,m getting hooked into spending £000,s on stuff to make it even noisier GREAT I LOVE IT !!! -
LOL, No more worrying about tyre roar.... But worrying about how your gonna afford induction kit or new zorst
Yes too right ,do HKS do a set up fot the Z ? I must say it sounds quite tame unless you are really gunning it
also I,m not used to the back end stepping out all the time ; with the old Mitsy it was 4 wheel drive and hung in there quite well...mind if it did let go you were going to be in BIG trouble
-
GOTCHA
last car I had was a Mitsy Twin Turbo GTO .with HKS straight through pipes and HKS induction kit and a dump valve the bloody thing made that much noise I never got to hear tyre roar -
[Tim, your tyres are exactly the same as mine.. wish we could compare
I've got the JWT popcharger, the sound of that does tend 2 distract u from any road noise
Sorry no idea what a JWT popcharger is ?
But I,m sure we,ll have a meet somewhere or other Cheers Tim -
DOOOH missed that one !!
Thanks..., looks like I need a new set of tyres NOT bridgestones though by all accounts !! 
Just happy to know its not just me plagued with tyre noise
-
Sorry cant find anything in the FAQ section about tyre noise???have you checked in our faq about tyre roar? have a look in there and also in the technical forum about common faults on our car, could be feathering...but yeah thicker boot mat and tonneau cover help in reducing road noise.
Mini vs Z banter
in 350Z General
