you get what you pay for. Its a Tyre.....don't expect much
If you want performance...stay clear
If you want a tyre to pass rego...... sweet.

Its the typical Falken Crap.

For the 326, instead of using silicon in the tread compound for extra grip Falken uses KY jelly :)

They are crapola. Steer clear (pardon the pun)

Yeah, I should have google it first. Havent found a single good review about 326. Im going to get FK452 instead, its the updated version of the good ol' GRB 451.

I have the FK-451s on my 5, and the ZE 326s on my Integra. Chalk and Cheese in favour of the FK-451s - especially in the wet.

Pity the FK-451's replacement (FK-452s) are not available in the stock NB8B size anymore. :(

Yeah, 16" tyres is getting harder to get these days. Im getting 205/40/17 anyway, and it's $180!!!. Pretty good I must say considering ZE 326 is $150 per corner.
