They are great if your camber is solid. if you are lowered and don't have camber plates they are a little too soft...

I don't know what they cost there but they are only $70 a tire here so I still run them and replace them every 5 months.

Gone from bridgy's to these and am happy....

Personally I think you have to have them or indeed any tyre on the screaming limit to notice any bad points.

Have 2 of these on my front at the moment.
Great tyre for the price.
The only thing i didnt like initially was the lack of a rim protector :(

I had them on mine...

Fantastic tyre for the price - much better in the bends than the factory dunlops.

also, pretty quiet from the roadnoise point of view.

Got them too as they came with my wheels (4 for £150) excellent value, work well in the dry though not amazing in the wet,

Had these tyres on a few wheels over the years, great tyre, value for money and last for ages! Ran them in 18" most of the time and can't complain, good all round tyre  :happy2:

Have used the Falkens several times on different cars and have no complaints at all, especially for around £70 - 75 each for a 225/40/18.

Have bridgestones currently fitted to my GTI, Can't tell much difference between then and the Falkens I had last.

Will be trying the Vredestein's next time though.

Very good tyres for the money, I bought them after i got sick of paying £130 each for Conti sport 3's. They seem to wear better than the Conti's, but they are a little noisier

what about the 921 tread pattern looks similar to pirrelis £60 a corner

The 912's are only speed rated to W level, so Falken market the 452 as their ultra-high performance tyre which is speed rated to Y level.
