stanski Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Just had my service at Lockwood and Greenwood today. I asked them to check out the front brakes/bearings on the Zed as I have been getting a lot of noise at certain speeds? Thinking something was either binding or wearing turns out its the Falkens? Front has got 5mm tread rears are on 3.5mm - this is after 12 months and about 15000 miles on btw. They swapped the wheels over with some doner ones they have in stock with the factory Bridgstones and the noise was substancially reduced. So if you are worried that your Zed is getting noisey at certain speeds - with me it was between 25-30 and 50 - 60 mph - it may be down to the tyres? Just to let you know otherwise I love the Falkens over factory any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 You're getting good mileage out of them Stan. You haven't got a brick stuck under the throttle pedal have you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mainly motorway driving so they are not getting flogged mind you their first outing was the Hoon last year! I worry more about the front bumper its spotty beyond belief - just past the 45400 miles mark now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
