Bought a pair of these nearly 3 years back after my 1 year old Avon ZZ3 were down to the threads on the very inside of the tyre! Thought it could have been something out of line - but after getting checked, all seemed ok, and Falkens have been spot on (won't be buying Avons again!). Wasn't my driving either, as I was being careful the first year of owning the car.
Purchased a second pair to get a complete set around a year, to 2 years ago. Excellent tyres. Loads more grip than the Avon ZZ3 and Pirelli PZero Nero tyres my car came with. Was getting understear and losing traction in some fairly sharp, low speed corners, even in the dry - which I couldn't understand. Falkens have been ace. I've done over 10,000 on the first pair and around 6 or 7 on the second. Wear seems to be pretty even and good so far, even though now I drive with a bit more 'spirit'.
Survived a 6 hour snow journey last christmas. Obviously nothing is going to be great in the snow, ice and sludge. But I think they did really well. Managed to drag herself up 'slip'roads where lorries and other cars were struggling. Got to my destination after surviving the dangers of the M4 and M5.
Back to normal conditions, you can feel the road under you - which I like, but also quite comfortable on most roads.
Will most likely be buying again. Fiesta ST 150. £62 - £67 each
