Cool tyres I drive a lot on the road only about 16000 km but the tyres stick to the road even in the safe handling of water as it gets 8 st area it gets soft but overall I would recommend.

Tyres excel flawless. Previously used were much weaker. Behave very well in the snow.

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.

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.

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.

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 was very pleased by the first winter. The second winter fared a little worse due to the rapid tyre wear.

I bought these tyres because: - asymetric tread pattern suggested me that they drain water very good - price was very decent - it had a lot of good reviews On wet road it behaves correct. They loose grip to often while moving off. tracktion on snow I have to judge as poor. All in all a good tyre but there could be a few improvements.

After changing tyres Dunlop Fast Response summer to winter evaluated tyre rolling noise disappeared - in this respect the tyre excellent. Generally, large comfortable ride, has not happened so I was unpleasantly surprised by the tyre, With more moderate workout, I would recommend this tyre.
