Where u buying your Falkens?

Post by c13amb » Sun Dec 15, 2019 6:50 pm

Hi all
As per title I'm considering renewing my rears on my TF. There the 215x40x16 Falken 914's at the mo which seem hard to get hold of now which is a shame as I considered them to be decent when pushed :thumbsu: anyway was wondering where everybody was getting their replacements from at the moment ?
Are there any "offers" that I'm not aware of at the mo? ;)

Falken 914's were superseded with the ZE310 in the summer, which may be why your now struggling to get 914's.
Good news is that 310's are just as good (we have some on one of our TF's) :thumbsu:

Just use our local tyre fitters, BT Tyres in Rugby.
Prices are pretty competitive and they can get most tyres next day.

I went on Falkens site they had a search feature gives local dealer & one near us was offering a tenner off 2 fitted & their price was competetive, I used to buy on line & have tyres fitted locally but they seem to have got wise to that & now the fitting charge makes it uncompetive. I splashed out on 4 wheel alignment at the same time.

Edit:- I just noticed your in the N West the firm I used was Ribble Valley Tyres (I think) in Longridge,

Edit No 2:- on Ribble Valley Tyres at moment ZE310 rears are £69 each plus the £10 special offer off if fitting 2 so £128 fitted, seems ok to me. Other tyre fitters are available :D
