Falken Tyres for a VW Golf – A Cracking Deal for a Halifax Driver
Yesterday at Pellon Tyres, we welcomed a customer who popped in looking for a good deal on a decent set of tyres for his VW Golf. It was one of those crisp Yorkshire mornings, the kind where you can smell winter slowly creeping in, and folk start realising it’s time to get their motors sorted before the real cold snap arrives. As soon as he mentioned the Golf, we knew exactly what to recommend — a fresh set of Falken tyres.
Now, the VW Golf is a familiar sight on roads right across Halifax. Ever since the first generation rolled into the UK back in the mid-70s, it’s been one of those cars people keep coming back to. Solid, well-built and just good at everything you ask of it. I can remember seeing early Golfs parked around the town centre when I first started the business in the late 80s — small, smart hatchbacks with drivers who loved them to bits. Over the years, they’ve become part of the local landscape, from the streets of Pellon to King Cross and right over to Northowram.
Our customer’s Golf was a modern one, tidy as anything, and clearly looked after. After a quick look round and a chat, we recommended Falken ZE310 Ecorun tyres, one of our personal favourites for Golfs. Falken have come a long way in the tyre world, and more people in Halifax are starting to realise just how good they are.
A Bit of Falken History: vw-golf-falken-tyres
Falken started life in Japan in the early 1980s, aiming to produce high-performance tyres without the eye-watering price tags of some of the bigger names. The brand quickly gained popularity with motorsport fans, especially in drifting and endurance racing. That racing heritage matters because all the clever rubber compounds and tread designs eventually make their way into the road tyres we fit on everyday cars.
Here at Pellon Tyres, we’ve been fitting Falkens for years. We like them because they suit Yorkshire roads: plenty of wet grip for our rainy climate, strong performance on rougher rural roads, and good longevity so customers get value for money. They’re one of those “hidden gem” brands—once people try them, they usually stick with them.
Alignment Included — Because It Matters: vw-golf-falken-tyres
After fitting the new Falkens, Dale popped the Golf on the alignment ramp. There’s nowt worse than fitting brand-new tyres and watching them wear out unevenly because the tracking’s out. Halifax roads, with all their potholes and raised drains, can easily knock a car’s alignment out of line. A quick adjustment now saves a customer coming back with bald edges in a few months.
The difference afterwards was spot-on. The steering sat straight, the handling was sharper, and the new tyres sat perfectly flat on the tarmac. The customer noticed it straight away when he pulled away — always a nice moment.
