Positive reviews about these Falkens unfortunately go me tempt to buy them. I bought these tyres before winter. Everything was ok when there was no snow and the roads were dry.In the middle of january the snow felt down and these tyres showed me their weakness. Imo these tyres are not prepared for snowy winter. Just thanks to the EPS system I could drive somehow.The car sliped on straight road. There was a lot of problems while moving-off. Tyres behaved like summer ones. Honestly I dont recommend them.

I bought these tyres under the influence of opinions of others but this was the biggest my mistake. probably some sheep here pr-year issue opinie.Moje Nokia behave better in the snow. Cash match thrown into the snow. I do not recommend. Auto goes on non-stop and I Touran ESP in 2008.

Tires very hard for winter tires, poorly cushioned inequality. One of the four tires proved to be defective at the factory, which unfortunately is not subject to the complaint, the tire firmly pulls by a manufacturing defect

I do not know where these high opinions come from? 4x4 auto on those with a bit of fresh slush or snow is dancing along the way as if it had slicks fitted! Failure! Today I went back to the old Michelin Alpin (before the new arrive), and I breathed with a sigh of relief!

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

Last year I risked and have purchased these tires for my Ford Focus. In my opinion, this is one of the better tires. Excellent on the wet and on slush. A little worse for the snow (is better for snow Debica Frigo2 is). It's really quiet (I used Debica, Pirelli, Michelin and Barum and is best). The price only deters.

I drive a Skoda Octavia 1.9 and for a long time I was could not decide to buy winter tires. Seller persuaded me really, to buy the Hawks, to the end of the conversation, I was not convinced to buy the tires of the same brand - but made me do the annual insurance led to mechanical damage and the origin of the goods for sale. The tire is produced only in Japan, which is a big plus for me. When it comes to the driving impression, I am very pleasantly surprised. Car has good handling in the curves, quiet, comfortable with very good grip in the braking.

The tire FALKEN have me very pleasantly surprised, just bought. I was able to test them in the snow, frost, mud and steep slopes. In the above-mentioned weather conditions they cope well and therefore are still very quiet. [I have summer tires from Fulda and louder]. Very reasonable price for the high quality. When it comes to the resistance, I can evaluate only after the winter season.

In these tires, I drove all winter under different conditions (cities, mountains, etc.) I am very happy, no problem. Yes only once had a problem that has occurred, and only once, it was the ice but ice are good only spikes. Whether dry, the snow and slush, the tires are very good on any road. No problem in the mountains, I have no chain used, although the others (not all, of course) under the same conditions, needed the chains. Over the winter I have about 10,000 km on the clock, the Sense of consumption can not be seen. Overall I am very satisfied and would recommend Falken HS 439th

In this price range is the absolute hit. I before buying a lot of tires for my SUV Suzuki Grand Vitara reviewed in 2010 and the tire has caught my attention. The tire I have the winter from the beginning until today, March 2012 used, including a stay in the mountains in a very snowy period and can say: no problems. Of course, when braking on ice any tire problems, but thanks to ABS system I've accidents avoided! Recommended!
