yeh, they are still going really good... notice they grip lots more when they are hotter'
i cant really tell tyre wear until i purchase new tyres for the front i guess.
but they seem to have lots of rubber on them... havent had the need to rotate them yet..

when i bought my AMG wheels they put low profile Falken f1's on them from bob jane. They were giving me a very good deal on the wheels as a friend used to be hte manager. Being a little naive i didnt realy know much about tyres so i didnt question or ask for a change. they said they were a good mid range tyre. Its hard for me to say if they are good, as i have nothing to compare them too. But.... They seem to be fine, i dont screach around a lot, but i think they have done 25 000kms, and the back ones havent even worn through the first indicator, the front ones just have (need to rotate). They grip very very well in the dry and also have never skidded in the wet. The only time i spin them is if its wet and i launch from first.... but maybe if i tried other tyres i might find some i prefer//

How many k's have you done with them so far, and how much tread would you say is left? (front ones im talking about)
if you can get 25,000-30,000km out of them (without rotating with rears)that's excellent... well thats what im looking for.. since my $130 falkens look like they will last about 15,000km with constant hard cornering

g1,
from the tread, i reckon they will last about 20,000 to 25,000 km.. i go round heaps of round about's in canberra and so tyre wear is increased
