Experience on Falken ZE-522?

[HaziqRais]

Anyone ever used Falken ZE-522 tyres? How is it?

 

[G221]

economical, affordable...long lasting...but average grip on road..or in wet.

 

[HaziqRais]

Its not a performance tyre right? How much each?

 

[beatnik]

normal tire disguised as performance..

 

[HaziqRais]

How much is it eh? Im looking for a performance tyre for 205/40/17.
Budget about rm 500 each.

 

[G221]

definitely less than 500...500 u can get Dunlop Direzza DZ101, Yoko S-Drive maybe, etc.

 

[Evo_Prince]

Falken ze 522 useless.. still trowing you side to side even you drive slow in the rain..

 

[HaziqRais]

So far the reviews about ze 522 is not good. Im looking for a good performance
tyre that has good grip in the rain and good cornering.

Yup, feedback on ZE-522 is real bad for wet handling. Try and see if PS3 have in your size

A good bet would be Michellin dude, then it's just a matter of how much you're willing to pay.

 

[vr2turbo]

Michelin sure expensive loh.....

Can also look at Federal 595 Evo.....around RM360.

 

[HaziqRais]

What about falken 452? About RM450.
Planning to order up toyo t1r or bridgestone potenza.
About RM500 almost 600 is it? I dont mind about the budjet,
i just need some reliable, safe tyres bcs i like to go fast :D

What is your tyre size?
Falken FK452 are pretty good. This is Falken top range model.
Toyo T-1R? Quite good too, but they have the T-1 Sports now which is Asy. Pattern
BS try the Potenza RE-002....

Yep...if you can't afford Michellin, go for Hankook then.
And if you're quite broke like me, go for Achilles - 180..200km/hr no prob.

But all tyres can go to 200kph, but it is the stopping that matters......

I'd been using this Achilles atr sport for the last 1 month and for a cheap tyre it's good. Grip at 200kph just like toyo, but you can smell the rubber after such a drive.
Braking at 200? you gotta ask those SIC track junkies dude. Quite sure some of them on Achilles.

Most tyres are safe, if use within their means. Track kakis also knows their limits.....
Problem is not much feedback given on these tyres....
you should give us some, since you are on them.....

 

[HaziqRais]

I have to agree, achilles atr sport is good for a low price. Ive been using it
and love it. But then had to change to better tyres bcs 2 months ago i got
in an accident bcs the car terbabas, jalan licin, tyre not grip well enough.

 

[Evo_Prince]

Jalan licin?? due to oil spills? or rainy day? how fast are you at that time?

 

[HaziqRais]

It was after raining. The jalan still licin. I was at 140 kmh, haha.
I always make that little turn at that speed, but this time the car terbabas,
hit divider, spins out of control and hit tiang api -.-
