Falken LA/ATs

[mudhog]

Right after a lot of deliberation I have decided to go for a set of Falken LA/AT as these seem to have a pretty good write ups and are about the right price for what I was looking to spend.....so I went to the local dealer to order some in, as he's going to beat the best price I could find on line, which is when it got complicated again. ....they do two sizes that will fit my surf 265/70/R15 or 30x10.50 R15.

Now I know that they are practically the same just different measurements, ie imperial, but is there any benefit to either or as the price isn't much different.

Can anyone shed any light on whether it makes a difference which size I go for??

Thanks in advance

good choice sir, didn't think you can get the 30x10.5 R15. Tried doing a search for them on Falken's site and it didn't match. You can get the 31x10.5 R15, which is what I've got on mine

where are you getting them from?

Pro tyre in Fareham, £377 for 5 fitted and balanced etc. although I have just been up and had a look at them and compared them directly with the Enduro's and the Enduro's look a lot more chunky which has got to be better off road!! plus they are £330 all in. saw a surk round the corner from me running Enduro's i'm going to see if I can sneak a closer look when he's not there.

Not bad mate! Its quiet an agressive tread on them! Only real problem i had is there were beyond bad in puddles!! just make sure if you go near one that the steering wheel is held with all your strength!!!

yeah my Falkens are great fun on a wet road. Have a had a few butt clenching moments on cornering wet roads. Just gotta ease off the gas a little more.

yeah i had loads of moments like that! I used to go into puddles on purpose cuz of the mess they made but after putting falkens on the old surf, well all i can say is..... Trust pink! Forget stains!
