I used those for years, they look horn, and wear well, but just don't hang on like my Yoko A008s. Also in the wet I could wheelspin them off the mark to 7000+ without going anywhere. Ricers would leave me in their spray. :x Not any more.. 8)
My front Yokos are now nearly down to the wear bars, and they are still passable for wet weather, like Huey sent down on Sunday.
Just right for the Wakefield track day.. :P I'll fit 2 new A008s after it!

Last time I needed tyres, the good Dr, Kazjim and I bought 12 A008's between us, buying 12 got the price down from $110 to $97!

Anyone else need tyres!! :D

I don't really like my Falkens. They have excellent durability; have lasted me ages.
But they just dont grip - throw it into a corner hard and it drifts out a bit.

A guy i know in Coffs with a cooper s had falkens on his until he drove my mates mini with a008's he couldn't believe how much grip they have wet or dry. the next day he went to the tyre place and said get some of these please. his falkens were only 10% worn. That reminds me i'll have to try to steal them when i head north as i've got sf226 bridgestones.
