_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 1m 1d Posted 25/02/10 09:47 AM Share Posted 25/02/10 09:47 AM (edited) I`ve been looking into replacing the Marangoni Mythos I had on the front of my car.The Falken FK 452 kept coming up as a good gripping yet decent lasting, relatively quiet and well priced tyre.Bob Jane has the 245-35-19 my car requires on special till the 28th Feb for $299.I bought a pair, had Denmac Ford do the steering rack clonk noise fix and a wheel alignment. Its friggin awesome they are open till midnight eh.So, while they are still a tad green and have barely 100km on them if that I`d say that:They were keenly priced for a Jap tyre.They seem pretty quiet to me, certainly quiet for a tyre with such a silly aspect ratio and quieter than the Dunlops and the Marangoni`s.The grip really well it seems.Considering I crusified the Marangonis in .. ahhh maybe 8 months. Weekends only.Mileage will become apparent.So far I`m liking them. Edited 25/02/10 09:48 AM by _Spin_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 1m 1d Posted 26/02/10 08:26 PM Share Posted 26/02/10 08:26 PM (edited) No one`s going to argue that F1`s are an awesome tyre with a matching price.I`d never fit Triangles or instant death Nankangs, like a lot of folk I`m looking about 3 quarters up the price versus wear scale.I comprehensively smashed the beJesus out of my Marangoni`s. However I did consider F1`s and don`t rule out fitting them in the future.lolz0r, fit them to the rear of your car, Brandy..Here`s one of the Marangoni`s, its not a good pic but the outside edge is blistered to the sh!thouse like a hire go kart tyre.Less than 8 months on car. Weekends only. Edited 26/02/10 08:27 PM by _Spin_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
