Pretty decent tire. The price is reasonable and acceptable ,. As for my needs and the way of use;) Noise is not too great, for all kinds of surfaces fairly fun to exercise.

On dry flawless, same on the wet asphalt. As compared with Pirelli Sotto Zero, under such conditions there was no fault anything. Sudden braking or fast bypassing obstacles always without a problem. The snow and slush, unfortunately, clearly worse. Fresh snow on the wet I happened to have a problem with you emerge from a small recess and nearly ended up sliding into a ditch. Snow level road gave cope, but they placed the 180 horses a bit too high expectations - TCS solve this problem easily. Durable tires for two seasons (about 20 tkm) and probably withstand two more if they were not stolen.

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.

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.

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.

I chose that kind of tyre because I read a lot of positive reviews and my mechanic told me to buy them. My answer is: I am very satisfied, very silent, and very confident. I drove about 800 miles so the rest of my "think-overs" I would state after winter season. I recommend. The price is awesome.

At this price (218zł/szt 195/65R15) is a very good choice for those seeking peace and comfort in the winter. No reservations on dry and wet asphalt. The only caveat is thin side walls, which make the car has slowed responses to steering movements and the car swings during sudden maneuvers (2.3bar, Weitec suspension).

The road performance ok, Falken HS 439 does not behave well in starting with the snow. The ice as ice - does not leave us without words. With snow chains on snow have to be careful. The wet-OK. I have not tested at speeds above 120 km / h - for now just driving around town. The biggest problem so far is been shown to mount the tires on rims and tires very hard - the profile is very low so it does not seem strange, but during installation you have tried a lot to put the tire on the rim (is entered only after having lubricated well and increased to more than 5) As far as I'm concerned, it should not be so - so, not for the road comportamneto not buy you a second time. As for winter driving - is OK and because the purpose was this. Maybe even the alloy wheels - (Dotz) have had the problem even if the tire dealer told me he has already mounted on the kind of circle so many times of different tires and have never had problems - I can not believe it-on same circle-on the same model we fitted the Goodyear and it was normal. If you buy should buy in the shop, where one goes immediately on the rim - if there are problems we can immediately take other tire-it is easier to make the claim directly from the tire and through the courier.
