Experience with Falken Ziex ZE326

[ferni]

326 = crap

for something cheap tyre Hankook K104... should cost you around 1200-1300 for a set of 4. They are much better than the 326.

$400 for 18s????  That can't be right anyways...should have done a search b4 asking the stupid question...  Thanks for all the input.  Got a set of Goodyear GSDIIIs quoted at around $1800 fitted.  Will try and get a few more quotes before deciding. Meantime, if anyone has any recommedations with pricing let me know.

Thanks!

I can get you toyo T1R's in 275x35x18 for $340 each but i dont know how much it will cost to freight to Bris .

Then again you can only use 2 for the rear so probably not worth the trouble .

I've got Goodyear F1 GSD3's on the GTT. They grip nice in dry and wet. RRP is $280 for 225/45/17 (stock gtt wheels), managed to talk them down to $225. Goodyear @ Strathpine.

scenario

zeix, FC rx7, lots of rear negative camber, just been through car wash.

ok i did a left hand turn at about 25kph, i wasnt accelerating at all, i was just coasting in second gear SLOWLY, like i could take this corner on the angle that i did it at 60 with dry tires and some acceleration. anyway the risidual water from the car wash made it slippery enough that the rear completley switched ends with the front, i managed to catch it but if anyone other than me was driving the car they woudlve been facing backwards into oncoming traffic.

i dont trust the zeix in the wet at all, driving up old beliar road in adelaide at 60 in the wet i was having to countersteer the entire way up due to the oversteer driving up the road at 60 in third gear was causing from wheelspin. its downright dangerous, i daresay that if my mum or dad had been driving the car at the time they wouldve been straight into the guardrail

much prefer the bridgestone grid 3's i had prior to these

I have them on my GTS-T and they are pretty bad. I've got a stock car (bar cat back), and one a cold night i'll have no traction in first, at all. I've got 235 * 17s. In the wet, if I touch boost in the first three gears, she'll start spinning. I feel these tyres are way too hard of a compound.

I'd love to go drag race my car, but I don't think I will on these tyres... i'd run a > 15 second pass due to the wheel spin, haha.

Let me know what you end up going... I've been thinking about changing the rears to Yokohamas.

I just got a set of 235/18s 326s and they hook up ok in the dry. So i take they go to sh1t once you put a few kms on them?

Anyway, i think they were $170 each, though the 265s may be a bit more expensive. I ho[pe they are a good durabel tyre, based on what i have read here just have to be sure to take it extr careful in the wet...but they cant be anyworse then the D01Js in the wet can they??? Anyway 326s for the street as they were cheap and hopefully good wear, RE55s for when i want traction:)

Thansk for the headsup re 326s:thumbsup:
