[Low Rider]

Very nice

 

[Neilc]

What tyres do you guys use? Im looking at one of these, probably the Yok's.

wouldnt touch the falkens with a barge pole at 19inch, they will be rock solid

Yeah I did think that after our conversation on Sunday.

strange, out of all 3 of them the falkens are most comfortable?

FWIW i have 19s and have Nexen N8000 and they are very comfortable and were very reasonably priced on camskill.co.uk

 

[PHILIP BAXTER]

Those rims are stunning. Great choice.

Great wheels, I had some Yokohamas on my E30, It was like a cat on wet lino and they didn't wear well either.

Thanks, do you know if yours were the same range? These only came out in 2016 as a direct competition for the Bridgstones I listed apparently. They have a rain rating of A and fuel economy of C instead of B and F of the Bridgestone for around the same price

Great choice of alloys - should look spot on on your Zed!

 

[mwpe]

No they cannot have been the same range as I sold the E30 last year so I must have fitted them about 2014. When I bought my Zed in 2008, it had Dunlop SP sport MAXX which were probably the OEM fitment as the car had only done 21,000 miles. They work so well that I have always replaced them with the same tyre. I have had three sets in 90,000 miles.

 

[Neilc]

That's how they looked before I had them refurbished.

Falkens are hard even on my 16s maybe because they are XL wouldn't buy when I need new backs in the near future.I know it's best to have 4 matching but front Falkens are newish.

 

[Jimmy Weston]

Nice wheels, I have Avon zv5 on mine all round,the compound on them is so hard,the slightest greasy conditions make the rears light up,I'm not happy with them,I wished I'd have stuck to bridgestones which I have always been happy with.

 

[Neilc]

Think I'm going to try the Yokohamas as they have the better wet grip and fuel economy compared to the bridgestones

Love the rims. I have Falkens all round on 18's and find them fine, no problem with comfort at all.

Do you know which tyre model as I've seen different ones for Falken and I'm thinking that could be the difference when people are finding the hard
