Ford Falcon FGX XR8 Tyres

Found the wall strength to be poor. If hit a pothole or small object, tyre would bubble on the wall.

So the time has come to replace these after 38000kms. Just put a new pair on the front. Having a Heavy Sport Saloon, the outside shoulder took a bit of a hammering but it was the inside shoulder that led to me replacing them...not necessarily the tyres fault as I've been playing with pressures and also the camber of the sports tuned suspension. Was offered a good price on some Michelin PSCup2s...but she's my daily...came close Happy man

So I purchased these 20,000kms ago on the back of your recommendation and have not been disappointed.
I've got a big modern RWD S/Charged Manual Australian Sports Sedan now with 600hp, any tyre would struggle with the massive torque numbers(900Nms), these are no exception, more of a GT tyre than a track tyre, I drive with T/C on and the rubber does a stella job of holding on, accelerates well, loads of grip in the front (245 35 19s) when tipping it in. Back end is good, nice and progressive as the limit gets exceeded, quiet on the Motorway, roars a little on the coarse chip B roads in my area...not excessive.
Just Racked up 20,000kms , the fronts have about half wear left, the backs with having to tame the beast is about two thirds worn. I've dropped the recommended pressures and have gone for 38fr and 36rr, found that the rears were wearing in the middle from over inflation or heat.
Epic in the wet, stable at big numbers... Love the tyre...Bang for your buck nothing comes close in my mind.

Waited until these came into country after watching your video about them "Top 11 Tyres for 2018 Summer).
Glad I waited and such a good price. Was looking at MPS4s but in NZ they are about $2k fitted. Saved about NZ$700 fitting these.
The Tyre Guy over inflated them so were quite harsh until I went with Factory PSI settings (39 fr and 41rr)
I've got a Large RWD Saloon making 500HP and first thoughts that with the wide 3.5 grooves, it might be hard getting HP down to the road. Once the mould release wore off AND get up to Temp...not too bad. A little Understeery at first when tipping it in on throttle, but then grips and behaves nicely.
In the wet, these things are epic, traction down is out of this world and tracks nicely through High Speed corners.
Previous tyres were NEXEN SU1s
Not sure of wear as have only had them on 3 weeks. If I manage 30000kms out of them will be stoked.
Thanks for suggesting these tyres, recommending them to anybody who listens.

I have a 5 litre factory supercharged quad cam intercooled rear wheel drive falcon, with 322 rear wheel kilowatts standard, manual 6 spd. Struggled to get rubber that holds the power on corners.

These tyres are very grippy, and handle the power down on corners much better than other tyres I have used (Dunlops/Nexens), makes the car feel very planted. When going round roundabouts in second and flooring it, the traction TC cuts in, but the level of grip is such that the TC is not overwhelmed like when using other rubber.

Going WOT and fast changing on limiter 1/2 and 2/3 you get chirps, but the tyres grip and then pull, whereas using other rubber there was some serious snaking that went on, with the Khumos it gives you that linear smooth unrelenting pulling,

The front tyres have a nice firm sidewall, and give very direct steering inputs- making the car feel smaller.

The tyres are not comfortable soft squishy in feel- if that is what you are after move on. These are tight firm performance rubber, that are sticky and make your care feel like it is planted into the road.

These are great rubber in the dry for high power rear wheel drive vehicles, not sure how they will go mileage wise, time will tell.

Oh- they are very quiet too.
