Default My New Tires
June 14, 2019, I purchased a new set of four (4) Falcon Tires and had my new tires mounted on a spare set of CUP II wheels. I also had new rubber valve stem assemblies installed and each wheel torqued to 95.88 ft lbs., thanks to another member. I took my car, C4 Cabriolet, for a ride and I am very pleased with my Falcon tires.
I removed my original tires because the tires were date coded 2009. Plenty of tread and not dry rotted.
Any other member(s) driving with Falcons?

The Falken Azenis performance tire? New rubber always makes a car feel good. Enjoy them!

Not sure if they are Falken Performance. I know that the tires are manufactured in Taiwan and ride nicely.

New tires seem to always put a smile on my face.

And in response to your inquiry, I mounted the Achilles tires on my spare CUP II's

I replaced my tires not because of mileage, but because of age. $450.00 is a great price. I paid $500.00 from a privately owned tire store.

I got my Sparrow Zootz! for $19 out the door. Best value tire out there, and perfect for the 993

The Michelob PS6 tires are also a good buy and provide a hoppy and full bodied ride. See you lager!

All kidding aside, it doesn't look like the Falken Ziex, not Falcon Ziez, are a proper tire for the 993 perhaps?

You're right. My tires that I purchased are the Falcon Ziex! Why are they not proper for the 993's? Let me know please. I will drive my Falcon's back with my Porsche, not Ford Falcon, and request the proper tires.
Thanks.

Look again at the Tire Rack link posted above. The tires you purchased appear to be all season crossover/SUV tires. You'd want high performance tires for a car like the 993.

If I were you, I'd pick a tire from this list instead of Falkens: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...SortCode=54500
