Thus far, I'm happy with the Falken tires in 205/60-16 that came on my car. I'm not shy to take turns at higher speeds than everyone around me and these aren't giving me much to complain about so far. I am surprised! Did well in a big rain fall.
I have had very good luck with Falken tires on my Mercedes cars. Lots of tread warranty etc Also, some of the BFGoodrich (Owned by Michelin - I think) tires are good.
I have Falken FK510s on my car (2008 Si on 18" Wheels) and i like them. I've you they have excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions and noise levels are good to. I like them better then the ventus evo 12's that came on my car when i got it. It's a very good tire for the money, I definitely recommend them.
I've owned both. The Evo is okay, but terrible in the wet and a little noisy. The 510 is a shockingly good tire for Falken. I definitely recommend those.
I have the Falken Wildpeaks A/T3W on my Ranger and so far so good. Pretty quiet for the most part and excellent grip.
On my Stormchasing truck, which ran into rain now and then, we used Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires, which were the Discounttire exclusive name, now they are sold as the Wildpeak AT. I loved them on washed out ranch roads in Texas and mud/dirt roads in Colorado and when we were bombing down the highway they were pretty quiet, much quieter than the Duratracs I had on my old Liberty.
Just finished a canyon run on new Falken RT615K+ Auto-X/ street tires on OEM Austins. Cons are a harsher ride and low life-expectancy that comes with 200TW tires. Pro's are sharpened steering and tread noise that actually is not all that bad. And once they warm up they're absolutely tenacious, with more grip than one will ever need on the street and a progressive break-away at the limit.
I almost bought a set of those federals last summer, until I heard multiple stories of tread separation. Ended up going with Falken 950 ziex. Fairly cheap, and I have no complaints about them.
Similar van (VW Routan) and I went with Falken Pro G4 A/S @ $108 each at Discount Tire. Nice, quiet and surprisingly better than the OEM Michelin tires that were on there.
I'd avoid falkens One car I bought had them installed 5k before I bought the car. I had the receipt of everything and they were already below 50% worn. (they were 512's) I then bought another car with Falken 912's that were put on 15k a go and they only have about 3-5k tread left.
