Lesson Learned... My Nissan GT-R wasn't doing too well after this decision :( It really was ruined! So after driving two weeks on the Falken Azenis FK510 tires with my 600 WHP Nissan GT-R, I slowly realized they were absolutely horrible for performance! On the plus side, the ride was super smooth and quiet.
Handling in the car was completely ruined. High speeds the car was super unstable and floaty. It felt like the tires were made of balloons. Steering was incredibly vague too! The steering response was delayed and just made it so hard to take any tight turns. When hitting the brakes hard in a turn, the car would understeer and oversteer at the same time! It was scary to be honest! I had no faith in taking this car on any type of track or mountain road. I'd definitely die taking the car on a track.
I was blown away with how bad the performance was. This really shocked me. I talked with so many GTR owners and it looks like a ton of people run oversized tires on the GTR. Even 335's on the rear and 285's up front. So I'm not sure if it was the wider tires or just the brand. But the Michelin Pilot 4S tires are a night and day difference. I went with the OEM sizes just to play it safe. And since these were $1,500, I didn't want to spend more lol. The handling is back in the car and it actually has performance once again!
I can't believe how tires can completely make or break the handling characteristics in a car. It really is obvious since they literally connect the car to the road. But this was a learning experience for sure! In the 9 years I've had my license, I've never needed to replace tires on my cars. So there is a first for everything.
I have received my refund from Tire Rack. So everything went well with the return of the Falken tires to go with the Michelin tires.
Never try and save money on tires. Just stick with the absolute best performance brands out there if you have a high performance car. If you do have a 'normal' car, these Falkens would actually be great since they were comfortable. But they sucked for high performance.
Hopefully we all learned something in todays video! :)
