Anybody ever had a Falken Tyre?

Well its mot time and as i noticed i had a small bulge in the sidewall of my nsf tyre thought i better get a new one not just for the mot but for the safety factor, any way not really having £100+ for a decent tyre i went for the FALKEN FK452 which i got for £80 delivered, just wondered if anybody had any experience of these tyres?

yeah I've got Falken on the front of my winter wheels... they are awful! I have never hated a tyre quite as much as these ones. Crap in the dry, crap in the wet and noisy as feck

I had Falkens a while back and i didnt find them that bad. Maybe a differant spec? Only problem i found with them is they didnt last very long.

If your after a good all round tyre on a Budget try Federal SS595's I know alot of people that have used these including myself and i was very impressed. Apparently a very high spec tyre in Australia and Japan
