Tires Falken or Achilles
I run Falken 512 in 205/45/16 on 16x7 wheels. I wouldn't run 40 sidewall, particularly if stretched onto an 8.
I HIGHLY suggest Falken Azenis PT722. My local Audi Indy shop is practically getting all of their customers on these after they had it on their performance Audis.... And they loved them. I put them on my Passat.... Best tire I have had on that car.
I have the azenzias on my GLI and they're still on in this winter, and have been really impressed.
Obviously wish falken was still making 512's but overall very happy so far.
I've pushed those achilles so hard and there is still practically no wear! still trying to make these fit proper, some more fender rolling is needed.
I got some Falken winter tires (Northeast Ohio), they worked great for me last year, but the snow we get here in Ohio is laughable by Minnesota standards.
I love my Falkens. Pretty quiet, no hydroplaning and cheap! Pretty decent grip in wet and dry. Terrible in snow. And They seem to be a very soft rubber that wears a little quick.
brand new falken 912s: 2- 205/40, 2- 215/45..... for only 300 :thumbup:
meh.. the falkens can really get you in trouble in rain if you're not carefull. yes they provide alot of grip in the rain, but they'll breakaway (lose grip) with little to no warning unlike the goodyear eagle F1's which were pretty gradual.
Had Falken Ziex Ze-912... won't buy them again.
