Good performance on snow, packed snow, and ice. Very good value - shop around since prices fluctuate weekly.

My first set of winter tires, on a crossover car that's FWD! Being fairly wide tires I got through the snow 99% of the times this winter. The snow being fairly widespread in Tyne and Wear. Compact snow covered hills were I wouldn't dare venture before were driven up with little drama. The traction control did flash a few times, but once I got moving the tires dug into the snow. These tires arn't too keen on slush, but amazing through freshly laid snow, compact snow and ice. The difference (in snow) between these and the standard fitted Dunlop summer tires is like night and day! They are slightly noisier but I can live with that. Great sense of satisfaction driving at 40mph, on a snow covered right lane of a dual carriageway where other drivers dare not tread! highly recommended!

i had the falken hs 439 on my mitsubishi lancer for 2 winters now. i must say i was very impressed with the performance of these tires on snow,ice and wet roads. last winter was with intense snowing but that was no problem for my falken's.i run them for about 22.000 km or more and they look like brand new.the best winter tire i had so far.good job falken.
