Are Falken Tires any good?

[chuckd1356]

I'm about to buy some Falken ZE 329 tires for my 97 328is.

Are these any good? And I'm not the type of driver that does 140 mph on the highway everyday. It's more of a daily driving car.
They're Z rated too. If it matters.

Thanks.

Falken Azenis FTW!

I had the FK451s and loved them. Very sticky and lasted a long time. I'm wondering how the FK452s compare to them since they dont make the 451s anymore.

[chuckd1356]

Well, I bought them. I'll post some pics when I get the mounted.

I just did a whole bunch of other stuff to the car to, like:
1.)Rotors and Pads
2.)Rear Suspension, front tomorrow maybe...
3.)Head rebuild
4.)Nicely painted calipers
5.)And a whole bunch of goodies from Bavarian Autosport.

I'll post a review or something when all is said and done.

So what size are your rims and what size tires did you buy? I would be interested in seeing the pics of them mounted as I am trying to decide on these tires as well.

Azenis RT615's FTW!

Its hard to get a better tire, if you count out the ridiculously expensive Advan Neova's. You'll like the Falkens...probably a lot

I didn't like to smell burning rubber at only a quickened street pace. I had 1 "stopgap" tire on the left rear and 3 well worn Michelins. The Michelins didn't smell. My new Toyos T1R's can take the heat bettter, but they can smell too if I start pushing things.

from my experience falkens are good tires for a cheaper tire

Want mine?

I have (1) ZIEX ZE-512B 245/40/18 was mounted on left rear. Has about 4k on it (about 3800 highway). No visible signs of wear or damage. Purchased 6-27-07 30k mile warranty to expire @54,502 miles on 04' 530.

I have the 452's and they great. They ride much better than the Bridgestone RFTs.
