17" tyre advice

Post by meggs88 »

I've currently got Falken 453 on the rear and Falken ze912 on the front (215/40/17) I think.
The ze912 are giving me some bad understeer in the wet/damp, just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for a new tyre?

Any help much appreciated
Thanks

Something to also to consider is the age of the tyre. On the front they don't wear much so can get old and not as grippy.

I am on the Hankook V12 which are very good, no complaints.

I have had the Goodyear F1, sharper steering response.

Like Pete said, you might want to get the 453's to balance things up.
