I replaced my worn front tires with these at the advice of the garage. My van previously had Michelin Agilis 51 that had covered aprox 35k miles.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend these tires. They were on in the dry, but as soon as it rained these had no grip and it was difficult to put traction down when coming out of junctions. I also did not feel confident in their stopping ability, especially in the wet.

After only 21k miles they had worn down to 3mm. As my rear Agilis had now worn to 2mm (at 55k I’ll add) I decided to change all 4 tires at the same time. When I ran the numbers I calculated the cost per 1k mile was actually higher with the Falkin than the previous tires, and with a dramatic decrease in ability.

I would strongly recommend someone to look elsewhere for tires. There price now means they aren’t even so ‘midrange’ as they use to be, getting close to the cost of premier tires.

Confidence inspiring tires.
Covered over 100 miles on them in mostly wet conditions.
The old tires with approx 3mm tread were always spinning on roundabouts when accelerating from stationary.
Conversely these tires are sticking to the roads well, I have had only 1 small spin on the left tire. Considering the state of the road surface and my acceleration, this is acceptable.
Compared with other vans, I have found the Vivaro to be quick to spin front tires and sometimes under steer.
Therefore it is good to have tires which are grippy and responsive for a reasonable price.
Can’t comment on road noise/mpg - it’s a van so it is noisy and seems to average 33mpg whatever.
I would definitely buy this tire again.

These are good van tires, had some khumo ones on my have before these that I wore out in less than 10k miles, these grip as well wet or dry, have stiffer sidewalls, and aren't even halfway through the tread at 12k miles, they are even pretty quiet.

Wheel spinning in all gears in damp or slightly wet roads. Wears out after 3000 miles. Do not buy except maybe for non driven wheels ie rear wheels on front wheel drive may be ok.
