Anyone using Falken Tyres?

[Fisherman]

I dont know about my van tyres but i go through car tyres at one hell of a rate,last rears did 6000 miles and on a we trip to lisburn via the mountain i burst one,well in fact this was the second in a few mths,i may have to take the big numbers of my car doors as its a givaway.

I thought they through my old tyres away Trev, seems they sent them over the Irish Sea

I have just replaced (October) my 16 inch Michelin Aglis cp fronts. 33,000 miles in 4 years. Mot is due in January and the remaining tread was marginally more than 1.6 mm but not enough to take the gamble. Anyway the reduction in performance during winter with this diminished tread was an influence also. At least I was able to keep one as my ‘new’ spare it had a 2014 date on it. I was pleased that the new tyres were dated 3419, so still warm from the mould. The rears still have better than 6 mm with no signs of sidewall deterioration, but I do paint my sidewalls regularly with foreverblack tyre gel which is a dye containing uv inhibitors.

One of my Norwegian relatives uses Nokia Hakkepelita tyres for winter on his Motorhome, he says they are a bit noisier but they are full winter tyres.

I’ve a set on my old steel wheels Eric and they are second to none.

I have the Falken tyres on my wee Skoda Fabia and checked the tyres after a few dashboard notifications with the result that one rear was down to 15 psi from 32. Went over to the place that fitted them, best part of two years ago, and they repaired it for nowt!

Mustn't grumble eh?

Cheers

Van tyres last me well, but never got more than 10.000 or so from any car tyres, new set on front last year and down to 2mm, why dont they put more tread on the bu--ers.
