Falken ZE310
Does anyone have any experience of the Falken ZE310 tyre, on an MGF, that has replaced the Falken 914, please?
Re: Falken ZE310
No, but it’s a recommended tyre by VHS. I’ve just purchased some to fit when I take my winter tyres off.

Re: Falken ZE310
Looking at the tyre size listing the 205/50 - 15 for the rear is V rated 
BUT there's TWO tyres listed for the front 185/55 R15 82H and 185/55 R15 86V XL.
I expect we need the V rated tyre even though it's listed as 2 decibels noisier,
so make sure you get the right ones.

My car came with the same size tyre front and rear, and I have since replaced them with the OEM tyre sizes and
I highly recommend it. The car is now properly balanced front/ rear when cornering hard.

Thanks Robbo. I just want the rears at the moment and the 215/16's fortunately only come in W rating.RobboMC wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 1:29 amLooking at the tyre size listing the 205/50 - 15 for the rear is V rated

As John says, it’s vehicle handling solutions. The suspension and handling engineers from MGR who branched off with their own company when MGR went bust.

Re: Falken ZE310
I'm getting some of these fitted very soon to replace dodgy Toyo ones.
What's the recommended PSi on them?
I'm having 195 on the front and 215 on the rear and with the Toyo's I used to run 24 psi front and 28psi rear.

Re: Falken ZE310
It depends which wheels you have - the 15" MGF wheels should have 185/55/15 front and 205/50/15 rear and IIRC 26psi and 28psi respectively.

Re: Falken ZE310
I have 16" on so I went for the bigger tyres. Just wondering whether to stick with 24/28 psi or not.talkingcars wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 6:42 pmIt depends which wheels you have - the 15" MGF wheels should have 185/55/15 front and 205/50/15 rear and IIRC 26psi and 28psi respectively.

Re: Falken ZE310
