larsdowg Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Well up to you, but I'd have a read of this first: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20393&hilit=tcs+killed Interesting reading......... think I will buy some Falkens and give it a go, summer should be ok if I have issues I can always get the fronts swapped as well they have got load on tread left on them though so think I will wait and see how unhappy the ZED feels or watch this space Larsdowg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 for around £515 you could have Vredestein ultrac Ssanta. meant to be a far better tyre is a proper UHP tyre where as the 452's are just a midrange tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWZ Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Here's my thoughts:- Ran on 'Stones originally and had nothing to compare with but they were crap in the wet. Changed to MPS (not PS2's) and they were a massive improvement but expensive. However I was getting 15k out of the rears and I got 30k out of the front set, therefore I only had to change the rears once to keep the match. I then changed to Falken FK452's to save money as the MPS were £700 a full set and FK452's were around £380 a full set. I must say the MPS were the best but expensive, I don't think I'll get anywhere near 15k out of the rears of the 452's - maybe more like 12k, and maybe a tad more out of the fronts, say 14k but not 30k like the MPS!!! I have noticed the 452's do understeer when pushing in bends and they don't like broken tarmac and the feedback in the wheel is telling me this. Whereas the MPS were far superior. But for a daily drive on motorways, in the wet, around town I must say the 452' s are as good as the best. It's really whether you can justify expensive tyres for total performance. I don't think you can beat the 452's for their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsdowg Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Been running on Falken 452's now for about 500 miles thank everyone for the replies, I managed to get the Front for just over £110 and the rears for about £115 Pushed it in the wet and also in the dry (to the best of my driving ability that is ) and am pretty chuffed with them........ different feel to the BStones but when you get used to it they are a sound circle of rubber! Thanks again and happy everyone!! LarsDowg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
