cups or 888

[Mark CSL]

I used a set of cups on the sat and my ps2s on the sunday
Falkens will do for now as i dont drive like i stole it on the road Much :whistle:

[Bealo]

I run the Falken 452's now and i can't speak high of them, they cost me £550 a set fitted and i they take some beatings on track.

I keep up with the guys running Cups in the dry and i'm nothing special on track.

I want to try some track day tyres, Cups, 888 or the new Dunlop Direzza 03G to see what i'm missing out on.

Thats interesting Bealo. Never thought of Falken.

[Mark CSL]

Well the Falkens are on and at £378.00 +vat for the 4 thats trade.

A bargin i have run these before on my e36 M3 so time will tell if any good
on the CSL.

Cups for the summer and trackdays
:thumbs:

452s Mark?

Anyone tried the Goodyear F1 assys? Ive heard of a few rate them and they're reasonbly cheap (vs PS2s) CLICK

[Mark CSL]

Here are some pix of the FALKEN 452s

[Andyk]

Bloody cheap that Mark......are they really good.....

[Bealo]

Like i said Andy, i rate them, not just on track but in the wet and dry.

Bargin price and last.

To be fair i only have got the old Continentals that were on the car to go by against them and they were shocking.

I'm with Mark, i will run these most of the time but run cups or similar during the summer and trackdays.

[Mark CSL]

Well if you run Falkens and not PS2s you save £500 that makes the cups £500 cheaper :whistle:

Sounds good to me and the falkens on my old E36 M3 EVO were the nuts :thumbs:

I shall keep you posted :notworthy:

[RichW]

I've not ran the Falken 452's on the CSL yet but i had them on my Evo 9 and they were great, even with over 600bhp on tap.

Originally i never would have bought Falken tires, but i got a set of cheap wheels with the 451's fitted (the predecessor to the 452) - and was that impressed by them that i bought the newer 452's on my next set of wheels.

For the money you cannot go wrong, they're fine on the road, cope well enough on a dry track for a road tire (though over heat after half a dozen or so fast laps of Spa), and work great as a track 'wet' tire.


I'm due a pair of rears soon and will be fitting Falkens for sure, will update then

Yes, believe it or not I didn't like the PS2's in the damp / wet so I took them off. Finding the asymmetrics very good, not that cheap at £170 + vat each for the rears.
I have always liked the F1's , can't really say they are better than the GS3Ds

[bryce]

So in your opinion the F1 assys in the wet are better than PS2s?

How do they compare in the dry?

[glendog74]

I will be trying Goodyear F1s for my next road set.

I've heard they are near on a par with PS2s dry but a tad better in the wet.

[SMD]

I am going to get a set of these i think!
