Default Re: anyone sell Falken tires?

That's outstanding Steve. Thanks.

John, I've looked several times on ebay and at Discount Tire Direct, including their ebay store. I cannot find those tires there. Discount Tire Direct is where my tires came from, and we've talked to three people from there in the last couple of days, with no luck. One of them went so far as to laugh and ask my daughter if she was serious.

If I can find two at any sort of reasonable price, I'll buy them, it will evidently be essential to have a spare.

It's a shame they stopped making those tires. I switched to Falken because Goodyear, the OE supplier, stopped making that size a few years back. But the Falken tires have been great, when we were driving the car daily, we were getting 60K miles out of a set, and they were great in anything but snow.

Looks like after this set, I'll either switch wheels, or switch to B.F. Goodrich, and hope they don't quit making them. I was actually hoping to get a second set of wheels, and put them on my 65 Corvair Corsa 140 when we get it together. I think I'll make other plans.
