Well I just got them for a few days. What is obvious after that short time. Positives:
they absoluteley have strong grip in wet and same strong grip in dry. No compromises here. They are also high aquaplanning resistant, car doesnt feel driving through even bigger puddles. Noise is low.
Negatives:
on the other hand the superb grip sacrifices the car's efficency in terms of performance. The car's engine is struggling much more than with previous Goodyear Efficentgrip tires. Means; drives noticably slower, accelerates slower. The handlingwheel is harder to turn. Other handling properties differences didnt notice so far, i belive there is nothing major.
Conclusion:
Driving definetly feels much safer than ever, safe in turns, they sticks to the road, very strong in braking, no slipping, have no ABS. Unfortunately eats a lot of cars power. Soft tire.
Thats about what I can say when comparing the new tires with previous Goodyears, wich were a little dangerous in the rain, but very fast and sporty in dry. Overall I will see how will I like the new Falkens
