Falken HS 439

Driveability of Falken HS 439s is fine, a little bit too weak when starting in snow. On ice it behaves like every other tyre - there's no tyre that can go on ice without spikes. You have to be careful in snowy corners, but on wet it's good. I didn't test it at speeds higher than 75 MPH - as for now I am driving in the city only. The biggest problem turned out to be fitting these tyres to wheels - the tyre is very hard and has a low profile, normally it's not strange but the service worker had a hard time putting them onto the wheels (it got fitted only after lubricating it with a large amount of grease and pumping up the pressure to 5) As for me, it shouldn't be like that - and that's the reason why I won't buy them again. When it comes to driving in winter conditions - this is OK and that was the plan. Also, maybe the wheels - (alloy Dotz) weren't perfect, but in the workshop they said that they have fitted lots of tyres to such wheels and had no problems, I can believe it as I had Goodyear tyres fitted to the same wheels and had no problems. If I were to buy tyres now, I'd do it in the workshop where they are fitted at once - if there are problems, I can take different ones, as it's easier to make a complaint on the spot than send the tyres back with the use of a courier.

Positive reviews about these Falkens unfortunately go me tempt to buy them. I bought these tyres before winter. Everything was ok when there was no snow and the roads were dry.In the middle of january the snow felt down and these tyres showed me their weakness. Imo these tyres are not prepared for snowy winter. Just thanks to the EPS system I could drive somehow.The car sliped on straight road. There was a lot of problems while moving-off. Tyres behaved like summer ones. Honestly I dont recommend them. Read more Collapse

I dont have much of experience- this is my first winter after I got my driving licence. These tyres did not disappoint me at all. There was not a lot of snow, But when it appeared i tested my car on road covered with snow. Tyres were just perfect. It is not easy to make them slip but when it happens it is very easy to come-out of it easily. My car was moving off very good even on the snow. These tyres are perfect for an RWD cars.

Fully satisfied with Falkens HS439. I drive in a dynamic way and Falkens behaved very well even in the most dangerous situations. they grip to the road very well and the braking is not an issue for them at all. They are safe and comfortable. Moving off very confident without skids and slips.No matter hwo sharp the corner angle is. These tyres are worth my recommendation because of the technical, visual and price properties. Read more Collapse

In that price you cannot buy any better tyre. I checked a lot of tyres before I bought them to my SUV- Grand Vitara 2010 and this tyre attracted me pretty much. I drove whole winter until now - March 2012. During the winter I was in French Alps. I have to say that I did not notice any problems with them. It is obvious that braking on ice is very hard but the combination of Falkens HS439 and y ABS system is just brilliant. Read more Collapse

I bought these tyres because: - asymetric tread pattern suggested me that they drain water very good - price was very decent - it had a lot of good reviews On wet road it behaves correct. They loose grip to often while moving off. tracktion on snow I have to judge as poor. All in all a good tyre but there could be a few improvements. Read more Collapse

i will be keen to use this brand of tyre again. Read more Collapse

Winters almost was not (the two weeks of snow too count). I drove the distance on the tires too small because only 3.000 km. For dry and wet behaves very well in slush also correctly, the deeper the snow could be a bit better. Appearance is OK cichutka, soft and great dampens bumps - by kapciarza balance without any problem, and the question of what he thought about the tires said "cheap tire, but it has one advantage - made in Japan so it will be reliable." Tires used for weighing 1.600 kg van, a van ride as it quite calmly. As for me, tire worth the money and if you will continue to see it on my car. Read more Collapse

Lightweight car with a powerful engine can be used without any good tyre of emphasizing smaller defects. This no doubt is good, surprisingly quiet, good in the wet and snow. Abrasion databases fine, but at the moment one season behind them. Closest to them to Nokianów H, leave behind the competition concerns of the first test in the German fields automagazynach P Read more Collapse

I think tyres very good on dry and wet pavement, only trouble is on the icy roadway and fresh snow. The tyre is able to slide, but I think other comparable tyres are priced the same. If you are vulnerable to a price promotion, I think it's worth it to buy. Due to poor driving on snow and ice (after the town) rather pile next set of another brand. Read more Collapse

Tyres purchased before the winter season 2011/2012, both on snow and dry or wet surfaces without zastrzerzeń. the soft slush slippage but it depends on driving style now. Previously possessed Michelin Alpin - did not meet my expectations - slippery in the wet and slush. Worthy of command - zakupiłbym them once again. Regards Read more Collapse

Remarkable tyre meets all the handling characteristics as the dry or wet and snowy terrain. I tested it in a variety of steep mountains and hills give advice. Mazda CX-7 with the drive on the 4th I recommend tyres worthy of interest. The size of R-19 does not resemble a typical winter tyres, it's a plus for her. Read more Collapse

I bought tyres in December 2012 until its replacement for the summer beginning in April driven about 8000 km, in the snow, slush good traction, predictable behavior of the car, they start to make noise at about 10, in the wet were doing very well, summing up in this price determined leader, highly recommended!

After changing tyres Dunlop Fast Response summer to winter evaluated tyre rolling noise disappeared - in this respect the tyre excellent. Generally, large comfortable ride, has not happened so I was unpleasantly surprised by the tyre, With more moderate workout, I would recommend this tyre. Read more Collapse

Overall, the impression of tyres holding up well. I have not had any surprises in the form of strange behavior on the water, or throwing in deep puddles. Unfortunately, my car is in the machine and ride up the hill to the deep snow was much lame (you can put 2 or 3 and pull the clutch) Read more Collapse

It's hard to talk about the advantages and disadvantages in extreme conditions, such as it was this winter. Auto, there is no special wyrywnego engine because the engine hard and 2.0 does not allow for too much. Overall, about Read more Collapse

Tyres handle well, are quiet, in fact I did not notice 'bad side'. I go more quickly than slowly. The only thing I noticed that compared to previous Winterhawk worse if starting on snow, but it is much quieter. Read more Collapse

The snow and light ice, with a quiet ride, the tyre behaves quite average. Water and mud ok, but it's hard riding 4x4 that was the problem. In summary rate it a 3 +, according to the old grading scale. Read more Collapse

Cool tyres I drive a lot on the road only about 16000 km but the tyres stick to the road even in the safe handling of water as it gets 8 st area it gets soft but overall I would recommend. Read more Collapse

I use the tyres Subaru Impreza GT, and I'm happy. The snow behave well, worse with the road wet and dry, but they are still winter tyres. Generally recommended. Read more Collapse

The purchase of Falken HS 439s was purely accidental - if it wasn't for the promotion in the shop, my review would be even more negative. They are OK for light winter conditions (clear roads and a bit of slush). I drove for two seasons on them and to be honest, vehicle behavior in the snow was similar to that on summer Goodyears. The tyre is completely unsuitable for fast routes with a snow layer. While starting can be omitted in my assessment, because it depends on the car's power and drive type, the grip in the corners and brking on these tyres can be surprising (either you manage to stop or you fail to do so). It is totally unpredictable, especially in snow-covered corners and in emergency situations on the road (quick avoiding). ESP had to assist the driving almost all the time. The fact is that the Audi A4 B7 diesel without quattro drive has a lot much understeer but on Fulda Kristall Monteros I never experienced such problems like on Falkens. With a price similar to Goodyear Ultragrip's, its purchase would be "suicide". When it comes to abrasion, I can confirm it's really durable. After two years and more than 45 thousand miles there's almost no wear off, however the tyre has practically no winter tread since its release from the factory. This is a typical tyre for water and rain, but it's completely unsuitable for real winter conditions. Read more Collapse

I would like to say that my engine is 1.8 but I got it chiped and now the power is much higher than in the original engine. I bought Falkens on Oponeo.co.uk. During the first week after fitting them I have made about 1000 miles. It was decembere and it was pretty snowy. These tyres behave properly on dry road surface. On dry road I don't feel any difference between Goodyear Exellence and Falkens HS439. Very good grip on snow - confident braking. The 1000 miles distance does not allow me to judge the attriction. Design just splendid.since now I was driving on Contiwinters and Ultra grips and falkens are very comparable to these high-class tyres. recommend. Read more Collapse

I have a SUV 4x4. I bought them because I heard a lot of good reviews about these tyres. They are produced in Romania, Turkey etc but I decided to buy Japaneese Falkens according to all those positive reviews. I didn't expect too much but they supriised me positively. Falken HS439 is a fantastic tyre under any circumstances. Veeeery comfortable (uncomparable to Michelins which did not provide me with such excellent comfort). very silent. You have to drive about 200 miles to rub the first silicon surface off. Splendid product. I became a huge fan of that brand. Recommend Read more Collapse

Imo one of the best winter tyres. Very good behavior on snow. After 2500 miles (1 winter season) I have to say that the tyre is almost new. I was driving on dry and wet surface. I can compare them to Pirelli SnowSport and Michelin (I dont remember the model) and I have to say that Falkens are the best. Behavior on snow is almost the same but when it comes to driving on dry road they are way better than all the high class tyres. I feel very safe driving on them. I drive where I want to drive and I have no problems with that. Recommend Read more Collapse

I bought Falkens HS439 to fit them in my wifes car (Micra). A small, not powerfull car so it is hard for me to say how would they act in a more powerfull car. I bought them accidentaly from my friend. there were not a lot reviews and the price was very fine. Now I can say that it was a perfect purchase. For such price just brilliant. I drove a lot of miles in different cars and on different tyres. I bought for my car Nokians and for now Falkens HS439 are not much worse but they are much cheaper. Read more Collapse

I bought them in a hurry because I damaged 2 of my Nokians WRG2 and I have to say that I am shocked. They grip same good as Nokians, just perfect. I paid about 40Gbp/ ea tyre and I have to say that Falkens HS439 are even better than the high class tyres. I drive with two cars simultaneously - Kangoo on Daytons and Getz on barums and I have to say that they have no grip at all. After work when I get into my car on Falkens I feel like in heaven. I recommend Falkens with a clear conscience. Read more Collapse

I drove on these tyres whole winter in different conditions (cities, mountains etc). I am very pleased with them. I had almost no problem with them. The only problem was when the road was covered with ice it was imposible to not slip. But on ice only spikes work well. In the mountains no problem at all. I didnt use chains even once. During winter I made about 5000 miles and I dont see any visible signs of usage. in general I am very satisfied and I would recommend! Read more Collapse

Tyres are just bull's eye. They look pretty solid and the rubber is very good looking- like a high class tyre. Besides the low profile, driving in winter conditions is not hard at all. You hae to realy hard work to make the car to loose the handling and skid. I dont see any difference between high class tyre and that tyre. Very silent and well made. it stresses my cars character perfectly. I recommend them. Tyres worth their price 4 sho. Read more Collapse

I bought 2 pcs just to test them and I will buy next 2 in the nearest future as well. I went to Polish mountains. Snow everywhere. During day wet snow and in the night frozen snow. I have Falkens on the front axis and fulda montenero on my back. the result is that the front is driving without problems and the rear slips dramatically. I advise you to buy Falkens if you like to drive safe and comfortable. My car is Peugeot 207. Read more Collapse

I have Skoda Octavia 1.9.. I was hesitating for a long time before I bought Falkens HS439. The seller temtped me to buy them but I was not sure about these tyres. These tyres are made only in Japan and it is for me a huge advantage. If it is about driving comfort I am very pleased with their comfort. They grip very nice in cornering and braking. I judge that product A+. Recommend. Read more Collapse

It is hard for me to state any opinion about these tyres because this winter I drive very rare and I bought these tyres last winter. First impression is very positive. Earlier I used Fuldas and Savas. Falkens HS439 is way better. My car is handling confidently in high speeds. I had no occassion to test them in deep snow because very snowy winter did not reach UK this year. Read more Collapse

I bought them for the BMW e46. A little afraid of this rear-wheel drive in the winter, but on the FALKEN it is a revelation. On all roads, they are performing well, they are extremely quiet. Super purchase. Predecessor of the tyres had a poor performance in the ADAC, but I think that if they tested the model 439 then the tests would come out great. I recommend! Read more Collapse
