New Tyres
« on: February 17, 2014, 01:24:57 pm »
Hey guys,

I Would like to know your thoughts on these tyres. I'm in need of 2 front tyres asap.

http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/falken/ziex-ze-914/225-40-r18-92w-233046

Looked elsewhere and they seem to be around the £100 mark?

Anyone used that website before?

They're not a UK company if that concerns you. They're based in Germany. Having said that, I've used mytyres before (I think it was) who are also the same, with no problems.

Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

The Falken ZEIX ZE-914 is a decent tyre, it's quiet, comfy and performs pretty well in the wet. For the money it's good value, I had these on my Golf 2.0 TDI with 190BHP Revo remap and had no issues with the grip levels it provided.

I just put on 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 2 tyres on my MK5 Gti.  I've been using them for the past 3 years on my Subaru and found them to be the best tyres I've ever used.  The grip both in the wet and dry is superb and the wear rate is phenomenal.

I've got 23,000 miles on my Subaru and still have 5mm of tread remaining.  The fitment is exactly the same on both my cars, 225/45 R17 91Y.
