L4V15 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Anybody got any advice on which tyres are the best option for the 350z? Not too worried about noise, mainly after decent grip and predictability, gradual predictable breakaway etc. Anybody tried the Falken FK452 on the 350? I had a set on a Celica 190 a while ago and I was impressed with them for the price. Not sure how predictable they would be on a 300bhp rwd though.

Ian Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 You've not searched this at all have you? *awaits Ekona* Quote
L4V15 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 lol, well everytime I search anything on this forum all I find it somebody asking the question and the only responses being people saying 'search is your friend' and things. So I thought I'd make use of the forum. Quote
Ian Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 viewtopic.php?f=60&t=5589 Here, I'm in a happy mood tonight Quote
ChrisS Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 There is a 20+ page tyre review thread already. And yes 'search is your friend' and you've been here 6 months aswell. Quote
SteveRS Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Falken all the way for me.... +1 on that! Quote
L4V15 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 Ideal, I was hoping some people would say that. Do you find them predictable? Quote
Neil Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Ideal, I was hoping some people would say that. Do you find them predictable? Yes, very - they will go flat if you run over a nail.... Quote

Greddy-Matt Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I've run these on a few cars over 450bhp with no problems, predictable yes, progressive no not really in any given situation on the road at legal speed no problem unless its icy in which case leave the car at home, great dry tyre average in the wet, good budget tyre Quote
Ekona Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Falkens are budget tyres. They are not the best tyres. If you want predictability, go for the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. If you want the best in grip, get the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. If you want cheap rubber that'll be legal and last a fair while, get the Falkens. All of this info is available if you'd bother searching. Do you know why there's loads of threads asking people to search? Because no-one ever does and just starts a new post, so congratulations on making it more difficult for the next person who actually makes the effort to search by giving them yet another thread to have to read through.

Mega Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Sessantas are no better than 452s in my experience.. Quote
Lexx Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I've moved this to the 350z tyres subforum. You wouldn't even have had to use the search function to find this entire section. Simply looking at the Forum Index would have got you here Quote
L4V15 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 Great, thanks for all the replies. I think I've made up my mind. And sorry for asking the question in the wrong section and asking the question. I'll search harder in future. Quote
Ricey Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Great, thanks for all the replies. I think I've made up my mind. And sorry for asking the question in the wrong section and asking the question. I'll search harder in future. I feel quite sorry for you now! Its more this particular question than anything mate.........its been done to death and always ends up in an argument! Quote
