Falken tires any good?

[rob hod]

    In the UK Falken sponsor a Club race series for the XK engined Jaguar .
Part of the formula is mandatory fitment of Falken tyres, I have a friend
who races in the series and he has scared the bjaysus out of me on public
roads in his xj6 equipped with them. Don't know too much else about them,
but I can tell you that they make a  respectable tyre that can handle a 1.5
ton car at 140mph.
