avoid eagle nct5 as well... terrible tyres... no grip during wet... grip isnt any satisfying in dry though...  shakehead.gif

Wait till you are on the Falken 522 then u'll get a more accurate definition of lousy grip. Those who are looking forward for an ice skating experience in the wet are welcomed to use the Falken 522. brows.gif Mind u, those are brand new Falken 522 I am talking (less than 1500km). It has me nearly killed twice. mad.gif

Same as RE001?

Got mine for RM75 each inclusive of balancing. Used but with 70-80% thread.
There were 4 pieces, but I just bought two since I needed just a pair for the front.

Really that bad, nearly change to these tyre as the price is RM127/pc compare to Yokohama parada spec 2 RM153/pc, so i have to stick to Yokohama parada, been using it for the past 2 years and it treat me well, no kembang on the sidewall or on it's rlling surface eventhough hit a few potholes occasionally, only recently it aquaplans as my parada is botak edi.

I been using Falken Ziex 522 for about 1.5 years (thailand made too) 235/45R17 so far no problem.
These tires are just all-rounders. I find them hard, and low wear/tear rate. Took the last 40% of the tread wear to sepang track. From tire wear 40% to 20% it lasted me 3 track days, and each track day i clock at least 25-30laps (hard laps).

Yes its obvious the grip is not there, the car felt hard to grip at high speed corners in turn 5, 6, and also even at turn 9 and 15 understeering all the way. However the price you pay, this the quality you get. Cannot compare to other more expensive tires, offering better grip, noise level, etc.

Currently changed to Good Year Eagle RevSpec RS-02, improvement in sepang lap times about 3-4s per lap without driving too hard too. Great tires to use, highly recommendable. Doesnt screech as hard as the falkenz too.

But one thing for sure, if I dont factor timing in lapping sepang, i had more fun with the falkenz in track. I can control when I want my rear to slide out and lock it back into the turn as I want. (Or it could be the case of using any lousy tires that has no grip)

Well, during on dry its ok. @ highspeed oso not dat bad. But during in wet condition... It tends to loose grip badly. I even lock my rear wheel which is on drums hmm.gif Weird... maybe it is juz a normal driving tires which I can xpect much from it as u said. nod.gif

If you prefer something for the wet, you can take a look at the RevSpec RS02. I was lucky enough to try it in sepang on a heavy downpour, and managed to hit 150+kmh on the straights without having much difficulties in steering thru the slight puddles.

car kept in the lanes even though going thru puddles at high speed. no doubt these are better than the Falken 522, lol but the price for 1 pc is probably 2pc of Falken too...
