Tires Falken or Firestone

I recently had a great experience with the Falken RT615K+ going from HPDE 2 to Time Trials. I had 275/35R18's square on my 350z and they lasted me about 11 track days including driving to and from the track a few times. I don't have any personal experience with other 200tw tires but I was satisfied with mine.

I like Falken a lot. Mine didn’t come with Falken but got some Wildpeaks installed after getting our first flat. Got all 4 wheels replaced a little over a year ago and have had zero issues.

I recommend the shit out of the Firestone Indy 500 they get up to the proper temp for that spirited drive quickly but don’t overheat and have very good wear from my experience.

I LOVE the Indy 500’s. They grip the road extremely well even in rain. It’s the only tire I put on my Mustang, past and present.

Falken Wildpeak FTW

If you’re not mudding and want to improve the ride then the Falkens with their mileage warranty is the best bang for the buck.

The EVOLUTION line from Cooper is their “cheap” line, recently bought by Goodyear. Have not been a fan of quality since the buyout

I've been looking at the Toyo NanoEnergy3 for about £200 fitted, but also saw I could get the Falken SN832 for around £240 fitted.

Up to you, but I wouldn't go high end on a C1. I wouldn't cheap out but go midrange. Something like Firestone MultiHawk 2s.

I ran those Falkens for my first year in my Miata, running E-Stock. IIRC my pressures were closer to 30 PSI, +/- 1-2 PSI. I found that the Falkens got greasy once they started getting hot, so I switched to ZII's for the following season which had a much more predictable traction progression.

I had the Firestone Steeltex the ones before the Transforce with good tread They had less cracking than I see on yours. Drivers front blew out on the way home from vacation, 70 MPH and barely missing the concrete median. Personally I would replace them and personally I would not go with Firestone
