Petrolhead159 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I have just stuck 4 x Falken T110's on mine for £330 having had Bridgestones, not sure what they are really like yet as I have only done a few miles but started a thread expressing my views on them.http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/4030-changing-from-bridgestones-to-falkens/ 1
david1972 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 The link to that thread doesn't seem to be happy :(
Jay762 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 strange it works for me - ill recopy... http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/4030-changing-from-bridgestones-to-falkens/
david1972 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Still no joy.....must be a problem with my pc and smartphone, so don't worry
Jay762 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 you could go direct, it is on this forum under Subaru in General - Subaru Tyres / Wheels & Suspension thread title Changing from Bridgestone's to Falken's
stants Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I noticed that all the topics had gone from the tyres & wheels section too.
Jay762 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Jeez not again - sorry all, thought we had sorted this particular Gremlin
Steve Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 this has been fixed.. weird as a setting was wrong. sorry about that.. if you find any more then please let me know.
david1972 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Has anybody run these tyres?......they seem well rated for grip and efficiency Hankook Kinergy Eco K425 205/70 R15 96T http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin//rshop.pl?s_p=Hankook-Kinergy-Eco-K425-205_70-R15-96T&details=Ordern&typ=R-213686&cart_id=52203063.110.11270&ranzahl=4&Breite=205&Quer=70&Felge=15&Load=95&Speed=T&weiter=0&last_sort=Lable_1roll&Ang_pro_Seite=50&sort_by=Lable_DEX&Transport=P&dsco=110&rsmFahrzeugart=PKW
Gambit Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Had no problem with Hankook tyres I'd recommend them from when I have used them in the past. 1
Jay762 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Used Hankooks many years ago - had no problem with them - it was sometime back though but heard nothing to say they have gone off the game
Petrolhead159 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 i believe that Hankook now supply all new VW's…i could be wrong though. 1
david1972 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Another cheaper option that seems well rated Nankang N607 205/70 R15 96H XL http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?s_p=Nankang-N607-205_70-R15-96H-XL&details=Ordern&typ=R-173379&cart_id=18843824.110.22699&ranzahl=4&Breite=205&Quer=70&Felge=15&Speed=H&weiter=0&last_sort=tests&Ang_pro_Seite=50&sort_by=Lable_DEX&Transport=P&F_F=1&dsco=110&rsmFahrzeugart=PKW I'd heard of them back in the day I had my Qashqai, as one of the few manufacturer's to make the 18's it sat on. From what I can gather, feedback was mixed at that time. Anyone have any experience of these they'd care to share? Checked my tread depths on the Bridgestone's at the weekend and both fronts have about 4mm left, so time for more research yet ;)
david1972 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 When I was in the dealers earlier this week I thought I'd check out what they are booting the new cars with.....turns out they are using Yokohama Geolanders. I assume that's either a price or performance decision by subaru...
Gambit Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I'm going with price, but thought they was good tyres when I used them before :)
david1972 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Ok....think I've narrowed my next tyre choice down to 3 now....for the time being anyway...... Falkens @ 75 a corner fitted Yokohamas @ 78 a corner fitted Michelins @ 85 a corner fitted....my personal fave at the mo Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Gambit Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Some good choice tyres there I'd be happy with all 3 But after these set of Falkens I'd be happy to use them again.
