Following my thread about nankang being absolute piss...

aye. the falkens would be 41 quid or something.

so something around that ideally. im so broke

well Blackcirlces are currently doing Yokohama A539's at £39 each, which is a steal tbh and far better than the Falkens, otherwise Kumho's or Falkens are the best your going to get around that price.

Its not under there special offers.

If you fill out the tyre info as normal and follow it through as mail order it should show them near the bottom of teh page.

Falkens are OK. Got some on my wife's Focus and it seems to behave alright.

A lot of the Castle Combe racers run on Falken 451's shaved down to 2-3mm, very good apparently.

get 195/50/15s as there is more on the market and they are cheaper.

Yokos and Goodyear NCT5s are good prices atm (i work in purchasing and complaints for a wholesaler)

Please dont gor for budgets, spend that bit extra and go for a named brand if seen far too many accidents/complaints to say a budget tyre is worth it.
