Falken FK510

[6UE5t]

motorcycle tyre copy a lot. mostly from indonesia.

Oh really? Still why buy copy tires? It's already cheap anyway right?

 

[gunnerzz]

Boss your price for PS4 super cheap for that size. Super cheap. I already using FK510 for fronts so gotta get it for rears as well.

No harm in getting the super cheap PS4. later the front wears off will become PS4 on all 4 corners

So far maxxis diamond got good feedback when it rains..guess the diamond pattern does its job. Wet grip is very important to me.

Like car tires, bike oso got decent not-that-famous brand. My usual bike mech carry both the Maxxiss Diamond and the copy-Racingstone with RM10 price different. Thread pattern is the same. I wanted to get the Maxxiss but after being convinced by the mech i go for the copy. Initially i tot its old stock but found out both Maxxis and Racingstone are 2019.
Corsa sport rain with V-pattern oso good in wet but lousy in dry.

I know its related to safety thus i stick to anything above RM70. I have used tire below RM70 before and it sucks.

I really wanted to go for Michelin Pilot Street but feedback is that its lousy in wet plus my riding style....well, when the center thread is worn out u can see the 'chicken wire' still standing tall on both sides.

2 front 1 brand, 2 rear another brand is okay. I use many times like this when changing brands.
I check a few shops, Falken some at 800, 730 cheapest. One shop no Falken say PS4 810, that is why I let you know......lol

 

[vr2turbo]

Wow....RM730.
My Honda with 17in rim got its rear tire replaced last week at RM75 only.

His tyre size big, 255/40R18. Most common tyre size 215/45R17 then got many choices and cheap. Even for performance tyres, I have been using all never past 400.....

I also use different ones often, like now my Mark X uses Conti ECS front and CSC3 rear. Last time CSC5 front CSC3 rear. Wife's Livina once had combo of PS4/V12E2.

255/40 R18

Two donuts. Thank you boss.

Why not just use 245/40/18? Much cheaper and common size, closer to the front 225/45/18 and better fit for 8.5j rims on your F30.

Yah, maybe be next time should try combo V12E2/S1E2 or F1D5/F1A5. :-)

https://tiresize.com/comparison/

225/45 R18 fronts
255/40 R18 rears

are identical in diameter

245/40 R18 will be 7mm less for the rear...

You got PM boss. I think rear got better traction is safer. They say new tyres go rear.

I know diameter wise it's slightly smaller but width is closer so less understeering tendency. Anyway 8.5j also better match fitment with 245. I'm also now using 225/45/18 & 245/40/18.

FR setup naturally oversteers right? I kinda like the way my car handles now.. a bit of throttle it will still oversteer..

Replied to you already. New tyres rear, yours RWD even better, but yours staggered so cannot change......lol

Hankook S1E3 already, by then maybe V12E3 also......hhahahhahhaa

Ah ok in that case then stay with same tire sizes.

can save rm10 for motorcycle EO also ok. motor also cannot rempit already. for taman use

 

[ixeo]

So far so good. Wear still ok. Did a few braking, stops with plenty of room left. Wet also good so far, I only have experience with PS3 and not the PS4, FK510 is definitely just as composed as PS3 in the wet, I have confident and feel safe with it.

 

[vr2turbo]

Should be the 3rd Falken model quite highly recommended. Those days was the ST115 model, then the Ziex ZE-912, but this model later failed. Now the FK510 seems to be making a comeback for Falken

 

[ixeo]

Isn't there a ZE-914 already? Yes 912 was quite bad, my friend one was having issue back then.

Yes, ZE-914 Eco Run is Mid range touring tyres. FK series are UHP category

Well no more sweet rubber smell. Run in well. Tyres are doing well, no uneven wear, I must have hit some pothole somewhere both front and rear right rims bent... had to repair, lucky tires are fine.

Consistent, no complaints and I am gradually pushing them more in the corners.

I think at the price, I will definitely give it 5/5 rating. Don’t compare with PS4 please, if you’re willing to pay ~40% more just buy the PS4.

How does one hit potholes with rim denting impact without realising it? Tummy upset again?

I think I forgot about it after the impact. Brought car to tyre shop then they told me.

Exactly, I used to use Yoko S-Drives. Friend say PS2 better, I say I know but I don't drive to PS2 max standard, where S-Drive can handle about 80% of PS2 but cost almost half only during that time.......
