Ok i do not want big money tyres

on my Triumph i have falken which is are a great tyre

I see on here some also like them, but my wheels are 225 x 50 x 16 , not 40's

so what tyre would you recoment for not a lot of money, remembering it is a daily running car not a show car.

Plus the tyres on my car at the moment are R and V rating what would you recomend ?

the car is a 1.9L

I went with Maxxis MAZ1's on recommendation from g8kja. Mint has also fitted them to his Zed too. For the money, they are pretty good and in my opinion equal to the FK452. Not sure what sizes they come in though...

My zed got driven through all road and weather conditions on the west country cruise, and never once gave me any cause for concern :D

I had some Falken 914's on the front of my Mini Cooper and they seemed fine, but obviously a completely different type of car.

I've got 914's on my 3series estate, never let go on me even when slinging it hard round damp round about, lasting pretty good and quite quiet aswell

I agree with GazHyde - had great fun on the West Country Cruise with no problem with the Maxxis :)
