Volkswagen Golf Mk4 1,6 16V Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Infinity INF 05 given 38% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 miles
I recently bought a set of wheels for my car which had these tires on them with virtually no wear on them, I thought I was getting a great deal, unfortunately the tires were not inflated when I got them and as soon as I inflated them there was a dangerous bulge in one tire so I had to replace it straight away. I don't do much milage because of a company vehicle so I can't comment on wear but I have used them in the wet and can only say that they are shocking, in 34 years of driving, I have never come across such awful tires before, I would go so far as to say that they are dangerous in the wet. I have seen reviews on here where people have said they were surprised that these tires were still being sold in this country, well some of them were 4 years ago and it seems they're still being sold....shocking!!.... DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES!!!

I had a set of these tires fitted to my wife's VW Golf Mk4 1.4 in 2011. They have now done 29,320 miles. Although a summer tire their grip in deep snow was excellent.

Writing about the Falken FK453 given 86% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 300 spirited miles
The tires are about 500kilometers old, so not so much testing yet, so far in Sweden sun and rain, very good grip and feeling, not so silent, but that's not cinturato p7 either, I have run on FK451 & FK452 before, and I just love them, cheap and with my street needs they all have done such a great job! I recommend Falken FK453
