Falken HS 449 - User reviews

Translation

Falken uses in his Alfa Romeo 165 horse. The combination of Italian fantasy and Japanese technology is a recipe for driving pleasure in all conditions. I live in Suwalki, there was a lot of snow this winter (unless, as always ...), cold or ice on the road sometimes gave its toll. Tire HS449 was walking me out of trouble sometimes - as in so in the route. In early spring I noticed a wide screw driven into the back-tread - no nothing disappeared from the air, got to the vulcanizer no problem. Wear after one season imperceptible, despite the very soft compound - depreciation was on them a whole lot better now than in the summer (at the same pressure). The tire works well when driving fast - 210 km / h for a long time does not make any impression on her. We would highly recommend this tire!

Winter 2013/2014 was short, but the snow was OK, and even dry asphalt the tires did not hurt.

These tyres give me great confidence in both wet and dry conditions but especially so in wet and muddy conditions, as in country lanes. I haven't had a chance to test them in the snow as yet. I was impressed with the fact that they have 9mm tread depth when new though. I have only driven around 2000 miles on them so far with mixed driving and they are still on 9mm. I have nothing adverse to say about these tyres and I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a decent winter tyre.

Excellent performance during the winter months in snow and slush but sufficiently flexible that they can be left on all year round.

I am very pleasantly surprised by the comfortable ride and traction on wet and slippery road for this unbeatable price. I would definitely buy again.

The Falken HS449 is a solid winter tires at a reasonable price. For dry and in the wet, the tire provides enough liability. Also on snowy road makes the tire a good impression. Only the road noise is a bit louder than the premium manufacturers - in my opinion but still unjustifiable degree.
