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.

Very quiet tyres, quieter than the summer Uniroyal rain sport. Excellent behavior at motorway driving at high speeds, low on the ice, but the ice does not have good tyres. The snow around

Cool tyre, I chose it because it was just such a reasonable price. At 10 I give seventh I would recommend Nokia WR and there give ninth out of 10

I have this tyre since 2008. Today is the 4 season - about 50000 km done, this is her last season because tyres have 5mm longer and the winter's over. the tyre is great as a summer rain, snow and ice below expectations as the Japanese.

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.

Overall rating good, but I was expecting a bit more. Sticks to the road on curves. It is too noisy on the wet - you can hear whistling.

good tyres, grip very well on icy roads. Had some slippage when traversing freshly piled snow in centre strip of road, this was due to me accelerating too hard, and the tyres had less then a mile of wear on them!
