Hey dudes, just a quick one to see if anyone else has got the same problem.
I got some new rims for my car and they came with Falken tyres. just want to know if anyone else thinks that these tyres are incredibly dangerous on wet roads.........? I have had trouble turning corners at low speeds and as some of you know Darwin in the wet season is not the place for crap tyres. shutup.gif ohmy.gif

Dude get yourself a set of Federals, they reasonably priced and are way way grippy. The Rolla wears 205/40/R17's and on wet roads it struggles to turn them. Hot fours got or still run a page on the federals and show a comparisson against Dunlop, Falken Bridgestone, and Federal, and overall the federals do really well....

If u want when it buckets down giz us a bell an ill take u for a spin

All my experiences with Falkens is they suck in the Wet and in the dry I woudl rather take just about any other tyre.
my mates simple Simplx tyre cheap for burnouts ETC work well alround and are cheap as.
