[ChuckFickens]

Falken is a brand of tyre, they make more than one type, find out the exact type and there will probably be reviews here..

(that said, it's a nissan note... the best tyres in the world are hardly going to make it sporty!)

just want to make it legal

[KJN]

If you just want to make it legal then these tyres are good enough .They have been around a few years now and are what I would describe as middle of the road make/price tyres.

That make is more than a match to run on a Nissan Note. You do not need to use performance tyres on a normal motor.

[woolleysheep]

i know it seems silly for a note but the rating is "v" rating up to135 mph which i am informed has to be complied with for insurance purposes

[KJN]

Wow that's a new one for me, tyres having to comply with insurance purposes, I would be interested as to know where that info came from, may help others in the future, also I think there are a few tyre fitting establishments out there that are breaking the law every day should this be the case,

[woolleysheep]

if a vehicle was to operate outside the service description indicated on the tyre sidewall eg. at a higher speed or overloaded the vehicleis then unsuitable for use

[Paul22118]

If a driver drives a motor vehicle in the UK and abides by its laws, then the maximum legal speed is 70mph. If the vehicle is fitted with a tyre suitable for that car e.g. correct size and is legal in respect of its tread depth and quality of condition.
The tyre and car are legal.
End of.
