g60luke Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi, Put Falken fk452s on the back of my Zed about 4000 miles ago, and now they are worn out!! How long do people generally get out of their rears on their brand of tyres! Cheers Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Looks like you been doing too many burnouts at the lights I would expect to see at least 8k with normal everyday driving....maybe closerf to 10k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 i've done 2000 so far on my sessantas and they still look like new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Just about to replace my rear Falkens after nearly 11,000 miles if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Worn out all round? Or just on the inside edges?/ Did about 10k on my last lot. They were down to the cord on the inside edges though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Mainly motorway drives and club meets but got about 20K out of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 probably got around 7 - 8K out of mine. They are wearing on the insides quite alot now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g60luke Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Worn totally even all over, but its 4000 miles that is only about 5% motorway. The other 95% is B-Roads and town driving. Looks like spirited launches from the lights then?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 got 18k out of my Toyos on the rears. Still had some legeal tread left when I changed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you have met Mike, who can be likened to Grant and Phil Mitchell all rolled into one, so good luck when you do meet up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narcotix Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well I hope they last longer than 4000 miles .. as I'm looking to have my tyres replaced with Falken 452's in the next few weeks ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasSoerensen Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Mine have done 24000 km (15.000 miles) and they are fine. (approx 10mm in Front and 6mm on rears) 275/35/19 rear and 245/35/19 front. I have done mostly autobahn + 3 laps of the Ring :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walbertonio Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ouch, for 4k miles you must have a few Golds from the Taffic Light Olypmics! Just had 4 new 452's put on mine on Friday, rather hope I get at least a year out of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Are the Falkens that bad? I was thinking about getting some when my RE050A's give up, but they have done 14k and still have 5mm left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasSoerensen Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think they are great. Good grip, reasonable price, durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Another thread brought back from the dead, glad to see someone is using the search button Ive been through a few sets of tyres in my time If your driving spiritedly, That doesnt`t involve drifting or any other form of burning rubber your should easily get 10k from a set of Falkens, providing your alignment is not totally shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
