Falken tyres realy suck! :evil:

They look cool (165/70/10) with their baloony appearence.
But a real mess to drive.... I guess it`s the wide (baloony) form of the sides which makes the Falken that bad and wobbly... :roll:

Anyways: Payed $71,85 for my A008s.

Cheers,
Jan

the compound is too hard, theres little grip and when they lose traction they do it suddenly.
but they last a long time.
the 12" falkens are the same.

12X5 in australia. Two choise now 1st Falken 2nd Sime. Unless you import tyre from England this is the choice.

I have look everywhere in Australia. Yoko's head office dont import A008 or the 539 (i think) anymore.

cars are fitted with bigger wheels these days, theres no demand for 12" tyres. Not in australia anyway.
i would pick simex given that choice.
