I need some new tyres and can’t justify £250 a corner for Michelin’s and have heard good comments about the Falken FK510’s (£160)
Anyone else had experience of them?
Falken FK510 tyres?
Re: Falken FK510 tyres?
They are not in the same league imo - you get what you pay for.
What size are they? Where did you look for the best price?

Re: Falken FK510 tyres?
Bear in mind it is a heavy car and if driven at speed you'd want to be safe!
Other than Michelin's (which are top of my list for both high performance cars and motorbikes), i'd only ever consider Dunlops and Pirelli's. Hate to say this and with all due respect, i'd rather opt for second hand Mich's than new in the "economy" range.
Hope that helps and pls check Costco as they regularly have 'deals' on tyres.

Re: Falken FK510 tyres?
Thanks for the replies
The Michelin best price I can find fitted in my area is now £234 a piece - I think I will now get these considering the price difference and the comments made
I also only use Michelin’s on my bike

Cheers all, went for MPS4’s in the end.
Hopefully they will be better than the inherited Nankangs!
