I bought these tires because I wanted good tires at a good price. I felt Michelin was a bit too expensive, but I was not after a cheap budget tire since my previous experiences with Minerva F109 - they ended their life a bit too early. Falken has got good reviews in magazines and they have good prices, so I thought I give them a try.
Very good tires. My car was fitted from factory with Michelin Energy Saver. The Falkens feels quite similar to them. Low noise, very stable tires, good grip in dry and wet, good resistance to aquaplaning. I feel that I have good control. The tires are also comfortable, they soaks up bumps and imperfections well without feeling squishy or soft. Cars feels secure, and it holds the track very well.
Since the tires are new, I've only driven them this summer, I can't really comment on the wear.
But I've driven them in sun and in heavy rain, hot and medium temperature, country roads and highways. I like them a lot, my car feels like it's brand new again (well, almost :) ). A very pleasing experience driving with these tires on.
I've seen some magazine reviews complaining about high rolling resistance. But I would say that in real world driving this is not really a big issue.
