Has anybody used these on a Coupe?

They're supposed to be very sticky and seem to rate well in reviews. I've been given a really good price of £225 for a full set (205/40/R17), I've read around on here and the Falkens seem to be quite popular. Is this purely down to them being a decent tyre with a decent price tag or do they suit the weight/handling of the Coupe's well?

I know from past experience that some cars work well with certain tyres and that more expensive doesn't always equate to more grip.

Cheers!!!

I've got them, they performed well at Mallory recently, I've got 215s though

Cool, I'll probably go along with getting them then.

What's the profile on 215s? Any advantage over 205s on a 7J rim?

yes - 205 will give you an incorrect rolling radius - 215/40 is the correct profile on a 17" wheel

I have them too very good tyres cant fault them.

Cheers Nigel, I'll price up the 215s then.

Thanks for the replies, sounds like they're up to the task.

I read somewhere that they can be "Challenging" in the wet....

Love the tread pattern and nearly bought some, but reviews put me off a tad.

Great tyres, best I have used in the dry.

I had these and they woreout in months,Im not into wheelspinning either!Very soft tyre!

Steamer did you have the spec 2 version on or originals paradas id the originals were poor too soft compound ?
