Default FALKEN 225/35/17 ON 8 X 17's

Anyone tried these as opposed to the usual 215/40/17's......? On a Cossie ?????

Am more interested in dry weather grip, than wet driving capabilities.

utterly shite

i had them on the back of mine and the 205s on the front

i still have them in my garden i will take pics

worst tyre i have ever had

i have nankangs at the mo and i took them on track at coombe and they felt like slicks compared with the falkens.

they used to make a goodyear eagle f1 in that size but they dont now.

im running 235/40s on the back now lowered with no probs

I do believe you do sir And there 451's

I have Falkens on my car and have done numerous track days with them and have had no problems with them at all. And i had the size you are talking about on my MO's which jasesapph now has.Also done a track day on them no problems.And used throughout the winter.
