Falken HS 439 - User reviews

Bull
4.4
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.

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.

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

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!

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.

Falkens HS 439 suprised me very much. I bought them 28.11.2011 and I was able to test them on ice and snow. They behve perfectly in these conditions. They are very silent as well. (my summer tyres are Fuldas and they are much ore noisy). Very affordable price and very high quality. i think I would use them for 2 seasons more because they look for me like new.

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!

It is mid-February and it finally snowed. I have had the tyres since October, so they do well both on wet and dry. Definitely quieter than the previous Firestones. I've gone to the mountains for skiing and they pushed really hard.
