Had them 10 years ago on a VW, good price, and good stick, rather soft compound for street so treadlife wasn't the greatest but they did stick. IMHO spend a few bucks more on the RE-730s, at least as good dry and much better wet.

Is that the name of a Company or an adjective?

Had 'em on an '83 GTI in the mid '80's; got the same 16 or 17K miles I was getting out of Pirellis or Michelins.

I think I quit running them after one set because the P's & M's had a 40K mileage warranty, and the Falkens didn't. No recollection of handling, so I guess they weren't outstandingly good or bad.

I had a set on my BMW. The tire store talke me into them when I went in there for Dunlops. The tread belts separated after about 10-15k miles. They were horrible even before then.
