New Faken tyres

Hi Everyone, yesterday I changed the winter wheels to summer wheels - both 11 spoke. Summer tyres are Falkens front 195 x 45 1.8 bar, rear 215 x 40 2.5 bar, tyres are new.
I went for a spin just up to 160 kph and the car seems unstable at the front, nothing else has changed. The Hankook winter tyres 195 x 45 front 1.8 bar and 215 x 45 2.5 bar were much more stable.

Any thoughts?

I would be doing at least 50-60 miles under 50 MPH before even attempting to drive at speed to let the tyres seat themselves and bed in before taking it onto a track.

Hello Keith,
Which type of Falken tyre are they? for example 914,s or 310,s
I will be buying tyres for my Tf shortly; so it will be good to know.

Have looked on line, Tyre Leader or My Tyres seem to have 914 and 912s.(only looked at 16") and seem to all be XL extra load(stiffer side walls?)
Prices are good and you can have someone fit them or pick a local tyre fitter chosen by them.
Have ordered many new tyres from Germany without problems,delivery is normally only a a few days.

Sorry for the really late reply, the tyres are 914 Ecorun quite cheap here in CZ.

Sorry for the late reply, this wasn't on the track! Big wide roads here, but point taken. They are running better now.
