Has them on a Giulia QV. Great in the dry but scary on the wet. In fact they hold on well on wet handling but you can't put the power down at all.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Alfa Romeo 1.9 JTD M drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
what a noisy, useless piece of... I've never driven tires like that. On dry they were just enough to move, nothing more. No feeling, no comfort. On wet it was terrible, even sometimes dangerous. The only tires, when I lost control driving 30 mph on the curver motorway exit - rear end started to overtake. I was driving a while, so tires were warm, outside was cold and rainy, but since then I drove many more tires, incl. all season, and none was so dangerous. Noisy, hard as stone, although they were 4 y old wehn I sold the car. Only plus - wear. They seemed to be eternal.
Buy this tires in 2024 for my custom build Alfa Romeo 159. The car is FWD, Automatic and have done few engine, gearbox and suspension modifications. What can I say...this is the best tire for hot and dry summer roads that I try till now. The grip in hot, dry road is astonishing, on wet summer days is good too. Noise is acceptable, wear is high, maybe too high, but performance always come with a price.
The only one real problem for me is the grip in temperatures under 10 Celsius. This can be feel in Spring or Autumn when temperatures varies(night and day)from 5 to 25 Celsius. Even in dry road, when temperatures are under 10 Celsius tires loses some grip.

My z Line tires has side cracks all around diamerte. The tires are only 4 years. I dont feel safe driving witn my nokian tires. Try to send you mail, but no respond
I bought these tires because of their good feedback and the competitive price compared to other brands. The previous tires were a Michelin PS4 which are excellent. On the Falkens I feel less objectivity in the corners due to the sidewalls of the tire having the softer rubber. They are more comfortable than the PS4 but I miss the stiffness when cornering. So far I've done a few miles, but I'm sure because it has a good grip and soft rubber, I don't know if it's going to be very long. Behavior in the rain I can't complain, they are good. In the end it's a good tire. Price quality is very good.
Very disappointed from these tires. Very bad handling in wet conditions. Descent in the dry.
My previous tires were Vredestein Ultrac Satin and Sportrac 5 (on my previous car AR 156 140hp) which were much better.
Previous tires were 205-55-16 XL, Vredestein Ultrac Satin. Now 225-45-17 xl ultrac vorti and I am very satisfied with them. The cornering behavior is very good, the tires do not disappoint you in an evasive maneuver. Never experienced an unsafe feeling for a moment. They drive great above 200km/h. They do wear out quickly, 4mm left after 10,000km. Alfa Romeo 147 jtdm 16v 170pk
Good tires if you live in warm places with little rainfall.
Wear is always uneven and happens very quickly.
Had the on 3 vehicles now and doesn't change with weight and sizes.
top grip, i went into circle part of road when going out of highway, and there is sign with allowed speed of 40km/h and i decide to try them,it was 3 celsius outside so it was cold and road was not 100 percent dry because there was a slightly fog,more like air was quite humid,and i went 70km/h through it like i was glued to it.Top performance tire,and you won t regret of buying it,i have nexen su1 summer tire and they have nice grip and all but above 200km/h you can feel car is kinda swingy,idk how to explain correctly(i have them for 25000km and they are great in their price range,but michelin is michelin),and with these tires you feel you are on the railway even though they are winter tire.Price is there but with it you will buy great product that will last double amount of some other high middle tire.Buy it and enjoy in top quality tire.
I'm in the UK and owned these tires for about a month and a half now. I haven't had to drive in any real serious wet roads as of yet. But dry conditions they seem to grip really well. I only have them on the front at the moment but have 2 ready and waiting to go on the back once they are needed. I honestly can't tell you about comfort as my cat has sports suspension and I feel every bump on any tires lol.
One thing I do love is how the lip of the tire sticks out to protect the alloy wheel. In that rare instance where you curb the wheel.
Something previous tires I've owned have not done. It will make me happier to have all the alloys of my car refurbished now. (Previous owner damaged them)

This seems to be a fantastically good priced tire so far. But I will submit a new review in about 6 months with wet conditions all being well they last that long.
