Hi guys just been on tyre trader and have seen some tyres by the name of syron. These are to go on my 19\" alloys and they are non rfts they are very cheap at £145.74 with mobile fitting. I was thinking that these would be budget tyres but they are classed as premium tyres and has five out of five stars, just wondering if anyone has tried these out and what are they like.

Why don't you just get some vredestein ultrac sessantas from Camskill?
Cheap tyres=false economy

Would Rather fit elastic bands!

+1. I like to stay on the road and not go backwards through every ditch and hedgerow, so even if they were free I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Perhaps if you were tootling along in small run around, but for a 335D?

If you want to save a bit some people fit the falkens and like them.

Even the M3 guys get the kumho's.


Just don't get those, they look rubbish according to the tests. It's not worth skimping on tyres for a 335d.

Never heard of them!!! Probably made in China or Korea!
I have just changed from R/Flats and got new rims with Falken staggerred set up, Makes the car as it should be!
Consider Falken 452's. Good price on Camskill or Micheldever

[Team Green2]

Hy guys have been looking into the Falken 452's and cant find any for my rear wheels 255 30 r19 have managed to find them for my fronts 225 35 r19 at a resonable price of £150.95 but cant find Falken 452's that match the rear ???

They don't do 255/30/19 - you have to go 1 up front and back

thats

235/35/19
265/30/19

however, due to the tsunami stocks are running quite low. They might be getting some more in over the next month.

Kumho are the only decent cheaper tyre that come in the exact size for staggered 19's.

[Team Green2]

Ok cheers would fitting the Falkens to my alloys be possible and is there any issues with doing this

[parapaul]

Completely possible, and no issues at all. As said, the Kumho KU31 or KU39 are equally good, and similarly priced.

Okay then guys its between the Falken 452's and the Kumho KU31 or KU39 has anyone tried both tyres and which ones came out on top.

[briers]

I haven't tried them but I did look recently and there was no stock of either anywhere

[dghdgh]

Never skimp on rubber.

[Team Green2]

So what do you go for then and how much if you dont mind me asking

[dghdgh]

Putting together a winter set at the minute and have gone for Contis for the rear and debating over the front at the minute. Got a fantastic deal from TyrExpress for the rears 255/40/17 for 280 delivered.
I personally spend hours reading tyre reviews then price checking before I commit.

Yep I've tried both now, and they're equally good IMO. Falkens have a symmetrical tread pattern, Kumhos don't, so it's as much an aesthetic choice as anything. If you're not planning on running winter tyres too, the asymmetric Kumhos may give marginally better traction in the snow, but not enough to swing the decision either way.

I wouldn't. Tyres are the only thing keeping you on the tarmac. However, my current Falken 452s are easily as good as the much more expensive (and arguably better) Pirelli PZeros I've had before.
