Need to replace e46 330 tyres

[Legacy]

In the limited brands that South Africa was exposed to for the last 50 years there was only a handful that existed, Michelin, bridgestone Firestone and continental..unfortunately we are mind washed to these brands and believe it to be the best and everything else is kaka.. Roll in the hankook, toyo,falken, nankang, and a few others...now these are tyres that are substantially better or equal to the SA house brands that we buy... Its just that our exposure to them has been limited so we react negatively and easily call them crap...

Make your own descision based on value for money and good quantitative reviews from fellow fanatics, I also use the ffg website for reviews..

Have a read through forums like bmwland and see how many people there love the falkens..

Sorry for my disjointed reply, got disturbed 3 times when writing this...:roflol:

exactly my point, i recommend these tires as i have used them

These "name" brands will out perform your tires any day of the week. It doesn't work if you have one of the best handling saloons but you buy crap tires. These brands have a reputation built on fantastic handling and not on supplying cheap tires.

Says who, you! Have you tried Falkens? I know I have and know quiet a few people that have hot hatches that are rolling around on them (these are guys that race).

Because Falken doesnt have a big name on in your eyes doesnt mean they crap.

But as you were.

So you are saying that Falkens can compete with (or offer similar levels of performance) than a Michelin PSS or PSC tire?

As to the other tires mentioned, I have tried Hankooks and Nankang. The Hankook are average, I have tested them against Bridgestone RE050 and the Bridgestones could do 100kph through a corner where the Hankooks would not go faster than 85kph. The Nankangs were sh*t.

To add to the list more low cost biased but actually a really good tyre also, the Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 - have them on my Wife's E46 (225/45R17) and they are really grippy! The only issue if I have to be critical, is that they are a tad noisy and vary-pitch sing at speed.

I also like supporting the "underdogs", so Falkens are definitely also worth looking at!! :thumbs:

Try Falkens, very underrated tyre but they are excellent:thumbs:
