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. Read more Collapse

On The journey these tyres do daily the weather changes continuously in winter. We live 120 metres above sea level so if the temperature is -1 here then the car goes down the hill on to motorway driving . 13 miles after that it goes in the hills and changes to country riads where it can be -10 , icy, snowing, slush . Not been on really deep snow yet, but they were good on a few inches of snow. Read more Collapse

I changed to winter tyres as my wife is up at 5am most days to take my daughter swimming over the winter. the tyres where used in mostley wet cold or frosty conditions,they performed well with no worries you could tell the difference in grip once I stopped using the summer tyres, I will buy again Read more Collapse

100% better than the factory fitted tyres, quieter the ride is smoother and the grip is satisfactory for B road and motorway driving. I fitted the tyres for winter driving but have decided to keep all four on throughouit the year Read more Collapse

I cant give an opinion these are winter tyres but we have not had enough snow to judge them .But they are ok in the wet as we have had plenty rain. Read more Collapse

Good value for money with this tyre. Good grip on all surfaces. Not a lot of road noise for being a snow tyre. And good wearing tyre. Read more Collapse

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

Used for a short period in the British winter weather 2014 was very impressed with grip & cornering also in dry conditions. Read more Collapse

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! Read more Collapse

Very good tire for winter conditions. Despite the poor this winter, for a short period was more snow and slush on which this tire is doing phenomenally, there is no problem with moving off, even entering into steep hills, is as it should be, ESP and ASR virtually no need to intervene. It is important to shape the tread and quite soft compound. Quite well is also on the ice this winter which is not missed (especially early in the morning). For dry properly in the wet as zimówkę acceptable. Consumption at an acceptable level. Price / quality ratio sensational especially considering that the smart tire dedicated (ie continental which is overrated) are much more expensive and Falkenów buy two sets and still is. For those who wonder I can recommend. Read more Collapse

Tires with very good driving performance, both on how wet dry roads. Driving along routes in the Alps has never failed. As for winter tire, according to my opinion, fairly quiet. If I were to be picky it only to comfort - these are the tires pretty hard, so nienajlepiej suppress surface irregularities. Although the tires have purchased my size is hard to comfort. Abrasion so far I can not judge, however, as less than 5000km not see excessive wear. Overall, strongly recommend, at this price it was worth it to buy. I'm very happy. Read more Collapse

Tires nice looking, fit most for driving on dry and wet surfaces (in this respect I am really positively surprised). Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to try out the snow and slush (because rating 4 - neither high nor low). A little loud, but bearable and increases fuel consumption slightly, but it also depends on driving style. Final rating from me 4. Finally RECOMMEND those who do not want to spend too much, and are looking for a good product. Read more Collapse

I can not rate the durability because I rode on these tires just the first season. However, I can certainly confirm that in winter conditions a car that does not belong to the smallest, is stable both on packed snow and mud on pośniegowym. I had also no problems with the slides when accelerating and taking turns. This is not my first car and the first winter tires. Compared to other fall really well. Read more Collapse

Great tires - one of the best winter on which rode a great stick in the wet, very quiet if it is important for someone, very good ride comfort, Abrasion better than I expected. Rolling resistance as low. And most importantly safety. I highly recommend steering with rear-wheel drive bite into the snow as snow groomers. As for me value for money great - the best tires in its class on the market Read more Collapse

have me mature the purchases in October and can be mounted. am ca 10000 km run with them, usually with a fully loaded car as we have moved 400km. can simply say great !!! the driving behavior even at 180km / h when fully laden car was perfect. in wet or slush can not complain also. had always NEN very good grip. my opinion as true the price-performance ratio !!!

It's hard to evaluate this tire in winter conditions in the 2015/2016 season due to the lack of winter and snow. At the touch of snow that fell tire held up ok, the car was entered on the steep driveway into the house. On dry and wet roads holding up. Generally tire as the tire, I did not notice the extraordinary qualities and there is no glaring flaws. Read more Collapse

I am surprised at the quality of tires. I did not know before the manufacturer but as I see it now sponsors the Bundesliga, it probably is important !. Besides very well stick to the road and collect well, you can hear the slush udeża in the wheel arches, together with sand. Super hot tires polecm. It's hard to skid even if you are trying :). Read more Collapse

Hello. A pleasant surprise because I did not expect the budget tires so good driveability both on dry and wet asphalt - full control over the vehicle. The only drawback is the volume of their work at speeds on the order of 170 km / h and above. I am pleased with the purchase of tires Falken. Worth the money, parameters persist western products.

At 500 km need to get used to, they are not as effective as summer on the wet asphalt, but it is in the snow every user should be zadowolony.tyres very soft and very comfortable, in the spring after the exchange for the summer is a little quieter, but the comfort is no longer the . must reckon with increased combustion of about 0.5 l/100km. Read more Collapse

For the time being there was no real winter, so it's hard to say how they behave in winter conditions. Tire quiet but very economical when it comes to burning. I regard it as a good buy at an affordable price. Land that new and chinese. Proper evaluation will come only after 2-3 seasons, but for now I'm happy. Read more Collapse

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. Read more Collapse

Winter this year was rather "invisible" in Warsaw, so I do not have data on the behavior of the tires in the slush. But the fresh snow (small layer) performed well, both longitudinally (acceleration / deceleration) and transverse (turns). Tread nicely planted cleans the snow. Read more Collapse

For the first time I bought a tire manufacturer to purchase this led me the price. Tires have proven to be excellent in service Oponeo belong to the middle class. I think they are better than some premium tires. Now I have to change tires and summer tires also plans to buy the company. Read more Collapse

A tire having an average relatively soft abrasion. In the winter the snow-mud behaves surprisingly well. Much difference in noise compared to summer tires not being noticed. Keeping ok too. Only the lateral support on uneven reduces comfort, you can feel the slight swimming holes. Read more Collapse

I use the tires of this season, and compared with companies very known as Goodyear, Michelin which recently rode not see the difference, tread and style opopny is very nice. Personally, I recommend. They are not the most expensive. they give high security - as in this lifetime. Read more Collapse

Used tires in winter without winter, so hard to evaluate their suitability for the snow. Besides beautifully everything, durable tire, livable noise, low rolling resistance. I would buy it again (unless you are weak on the snow which I was not able to check) Read more Collapse

I do not judge the snow, because he was not there, I entered because you have to enter. Several times, on dry roads saved me from the cullet. Also I'm curious how long it pojeżdżę, for the winter I have another. Greetings from Jastarnia. Maciej Kohnke. Read more Collapse

Tires at first glance, but once the great vehicle at a speed of over 100 km / h bring the vehicle to vibrate, I thought it was something to do with the vehicle but drove the diagnostic path and it is OK I changed the tires and everything subsided. Read more Collapse

This winter did not give too many possibilities to check the tires in difficult conditions, but when driving in icing conditions and slush did not have excessively slow, overall I think the tire is pretty decent, I do not regret the purchase. Read more Collapse

The tire ideally throws slush. Deep puddles cuts without any problem. Very quiet or I'm going 100 km / h or 200 km / h tire is not much louder. Very good brakes. ABS activates only after a strong crammed the brake. We would all recommend Read more Collapse
