Title: Falkens!
Post by: Chilli Girl on March 12, 2019, 19:55
Drove to work in horrendous conditions this morning, gales, heavy rain, floods, muddy roads.  I don't drive fast anyway but I have to say Foxy's feet behaved impeccably - despite the conditions, I felt very safe.  Great tyres for general road use! :). I don't want to start a tyre debate, I just wanted to say that I like them!

I will second that.
Very happy when I had mine. Really did shift some water.

Oddly enough, I found myself a toyota dealership (not sure how that happened) to have a look at the new corrolla in the flesh.

guess what tyres were fitted. Falken 914s. How about that.  :)

Nice looking the new Corolla I think, pleased it has decent feet on! :)

Have been running Falken winter tyres on an old set of FL alloys for 4 years from oct to march . without them i cannot get off my drive when we have snow or ice.  100% recommend Falken winter tyres

Obviously inherited my Falken 914's on the SP alloys from Steve (s12eva) have to say i am very pleased with them too. Would look at Yoko Advan Fleva V701 as another option, can't have the A008's as they don't make a 205/40/17 for the fronts.  ;)
