Falken Tires

Mrbangis · 03-07-2009, 12:34 AM

Just wondering about people's opinion on Falken 452's??? ALSO.........Can I run profile 35 series in Front and 30 in Rear with 20s? like this: 235/35/20 Front, 275/30/20 Rear, I will be doing some fender rolling in rear. Thanx for your advice

if you roll the rear it should be ok with 275s....but roll a lot

Mrbangis · 03-07-2009, 12:51 AM

I'm more concerned about 30F/35R series? I know I should get the 25F/30R but i think its too thin??? Any advice?

Got them on my car... They're decent for the price, but not the best. For regular normal street use they're good. If you wanna go hard in corners, I'd think twice.

Your speedo will be quite off then since the overall diameter will be significantly larger than OEM spec.

how's the ride quality? I heard of people saying they've experienced having too many bubbles on there tires with 20s? Isn't that true for any tire anyway? or 20s are just more prone to it?

roadkillrob · 03-07-2009, 07:16 PM

I had them on my E46, handled well for the money and looked great, but the fronts scaloped a fair bit on me and the tire guy said they where only good for about 15k, they started scaloping at about 8k or so.

I run 19" Falkens 235/35 front & 275/30 rear. See my sig. No rubbing whatsoever on stock E93 sport suspension. I think that's because Falkens are a bit on the narrow side. Not sure about 20".

gtrokin330 · 03-07-2009, 11:20 PM

I ran a 275/30/19 SLAMMED in the rear and expierenced very light rubbing. No fender roll, no neg camber

freshwhite335 · 03-07-2009, 11:36 PM

+1

they arne't great on grip. i would love to try some invos over these. i took take corners harder and feel confident w/ invos, but on these falken 452s, i hav the tendency to take the corners less aggressive

awesome treadwear tho (300)
