I run these tires on two cars. I run them on my 1971 VW type 3 and on my 2005 Seat Ibiza FR. The tires have good grip in both wet and dry, I have not done enough miles to assess how well they wear. they seem to cope with power quite well, with the Ibiza running around 240bhp pulling away without drama on a hard launch. One thing to note with these tires is they have quite stiff sidewalls so give plenty of feedback, although they seem to tramline as a result as well, especially on my Ibiza which has a very firm ride (coilovers, polybushes etc), so if your car is set up similarly you may want to take this into account as it can be a little unnerving at first, I suspect it would not be a problem on the average vehicle with standard bushings etc. If you can adjust to this they seem to be an excellent tire for the money, more suited to the British climate than the Toyo Proxes 4's they replaced, which were a great summer tire but not so in the winter.

After long consideration and reading tons of reviews I decided to go ahead and buy these Falken Tires.

I have been driving 4 months (about 10000 km) with these fitted and couldn't be more happy with my choice!
I drive mostly long distances on highways combined with short city drives. They are very quiet and provide an excellent confident feeling both in the dry and in the wet.
Even at higher speeds they are very progressive and feedback is great.

For the tire size I was unable to find any tire as cheap as this one with still great performance.

Finally after 10000 km the tires still look like new with near to no wear.

I will definitely buy these tires again!

Fantastic tires. I have tried most of the premium tires including Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Yokohama and haven't been totally happy with any of them all round. Having read the reviews on this site I chose to try the Falken tires. I was apprehensive at first because I had though of Falkens as a budget to mid range tire, but they are better than any of the other makes I have tried. They wear well lasting a full year with some very spirited driving in a car with very high torque. Grip in the wet is nearly identical to grip in the dry, which is superb; water dispersal is excellent. I think it highly unlikely that I will use anything but these Falken tires in the future. If all other tires were half price I would still opt for ZE914's, excellent work Falken.

Overall I am very satisfied with them. In my size 18" they were around half the price of premium tires, but they give similar performance. Low rolling noise tires, yet quieter than several brands on the market with special emphasis tires. Highly recommended.

I bought these tires by coinsidence 5 years ago.
I drove them a lot and drove them very hard on my audi quattro 180hp.
Never failed me neither with grip nor with braking.Drove them over 10 times on track- no problem :D
for five years and approximately 50 000 kms, the tires could last another year /this one/, but they were cut by some idiots. Just the previour year and this one as much as i drove them, they started to make a slight slipping when its wet and chilly. but nothing to be afraid of.
Anyway, would have bought the same but I couldnt find ones for sale at my country. Replacing them with Nokian Zline, as just Line is not offered on stock here.

Great tires, surprisingly good value given how good they are. They're not the best for noise but they're by no means bad either, grip is excellent both wet and dry. Will buy again unless someone can persuade me onto something else, which would be a challenge.

Pros - Excellent wet grip, very progressive and controllable at the limit. Great dry grip. Comfortable ride and a reasonably stiff sidewall giving good responsiveness and feedback. £237 for all 4 fitted at Halfords.
Cons - Meant to have rim protection but it's very shallow. Noisy when pushed... not squealing, more a crunching sound.

My previous tires were Barum Bravuris 2, good tires but these are better in every way. I can't comment on longevity as they're only a few weeks old but I'm very impressed at the performance of these supposedly middle-range tires on my nose-heavy Civic. Understeer has greatly reduced in the wet and comfort, responsiveness and grip have improved.

Very good tires. Relatively hard compound, so they last well. However this longer life does make the tire loose a small amount of wet grip compared to some tires which use softer compounds. The tires are comfortable and give a good ride, but they are not the quietest tires, especially on rougher surfaces. In my size they were around half the price of Michelin Primacy HP but they give similar performance.

This tire is outstanding, perfet tire for a tourin car, not made to be driven on the track, it is a High Class Tire, it can easily compete with Goodyear, Pirelli, Michellin...

Very good tires for the money. Dry and wet grip are good and progressive, although ultimate traction isn't as good as the Uniroyal Rainsport 3 I have fitted to my other car. These wear better though. The only other thing I can critisise these tires for is that they are relatively noisy, at least on this car. I would probably buy them again.

I have only had the tires for 2000 miles. The previous tires were NEXEN N8000.
The Falkens are more comfortable and quieter in all conditions than the previous tires but also turn in crisper on bends. They don't aquaplane when at speed in standing water, but I should hope not as they still have >8mm of tread. The dry grip is impeccable for normal high speed twisty road driving.
I do not drive in a crazed way so have not had cause to get near the limits yet and car is a Quattro so have to be a bad driver to make a problem.
They have rim protection and a sensible sidewall design. As always, I will do another review when they are doen to 2mm.

By far the best tire i have had fitted.8,000 miles on mini cooper s and excellent on grip both wet and dry.Have had a fair few tires like proxes,kuhmos and wanli (sorry to say) but these are the best in my opinion.still have 5mm left on fronts and 7mm on rears,brilliant
