Hi,
I have a W203 C180k Avantgarde with 17" alloys, 245s on the back and 225s on the front. Currently wearing Michelin Pilot Sports. Have had no complaints about them.
Fronts are getting thin and I need to think about replacing them. Rears still have 5mm tread so will be a few thousand before they need replacing.
I have seen the Falcon ZE912 and am considering them. About £30 cheaper than Michelins for each front and £70 cheaper for each rear. Money is not my main concern but a £200 saving on 4 tyres must merit some consideration.
My questions are:
Anyone had experience of Falken ZE912?
People's thoughts on running new Falkens on the front with Michelins on the rear for about 3k miles until the Michelins need replacing?
I know tyres are a very personal thing but welcome any additional suggestions.
