Default First running of the Falkens....

1. And I thought Long Island was progressive.. NOT one Audi Dealer or Tire Shop or Performance shop within 25 miles of me has ever HEARD OF or has ROAD FORCE equipment. So I did regular High speed.. It's OK...

2. I love the tires' PROTECTION RIB... I wish I had them from day 1 as my rims need some TLC and paint..

3. Within 2 seconds of steering I felt a big difference from the F1' Wranglers. (oxymornic name) Smoother, firmer but more pliant.

More to follow... Next week H-Sports then to the dealer for my 30K service and alignment. I will have to pay as he has seen my rims. ouch!

1 year old and 30K....

Default This is why I bought it...

My other Audis...did not get maintained and the 81 4000 was given to the Salvation Army with 150K and the original clutch in 93 and my 80 5000S was junked with 145K after 16 years.(it was vandalized and trashed.)THe speedo also didn't work after year 10..so...
High miles and they worked with no maintanance ither than tune up and oil and brakes.

Default Where on Long Island?

Just plugged in 11735 Zip (Farmingdale) into the 9700 web site and it came up with 75 9700's within 25 miles.

11722 (Islip) 43 9700's within 25 miles
11550 (Hempstead) 106 shops within 25 miles
11901 (Riverhead) 7 shops within 25 miles

Obviously there are fewer locations as you go farther out on the island but there seem to be plenty.

You really should get his done with any new tire. Two of my Ziex's failed and had to be replaced.

Default 11554 Nassau county....

I'm not really concerned.. the ride is quiet and vibration free..

Too bad I didn't know there was a 9700 website.
