Yep, haven't ran those Falkens, but have run the Kumhos. On my 2nd set of the Evos on my summer wheels for the R, great tire for the money. It's no PS2 or Direzza, but I'm not a racecar driver either. And +1 running them a little higher on PSI.

Pros: great tire for money

I had the Kumho on my Fx45 before the current Kooks. Overall, I prefer the Hankooks since I feel the ride better, quieter, etc (maybe I am just getting old and need to trade in for an ES300). Plus the Hankooks come with tread warranty, no? The Kumho were a bit stickier but I felt they wore a bit prematurely.

Pros: ride better, quieter
Cons: wore a bit prematurely
Vehicle: Infiniti

Goodyear Tires

I looked up a review of the PS3's and found a comparison test between those, the Eagle's, the Continental asymmetrical all season and another tire. I was most interested in the PS3 but after reading the review/tests it seems the Eagle may suit my priorities better- the biggest being fuel consumption. Of the 4 the Eagle picked up an extra mile and change worth of MPG over the PS3. Both did well in the dry and wet handling trials.

Pros: good dry and wet handling
Cons: fuel consumption

my Yaris came with H-rated Goodyear Assurance FuelMax tires. They aren't terribly sporty but the handling is competent, they're very quiet, ride well, do well in the wet and -- despite my best efforts -- seem to be very slow wearing. The car also gets 3-4 more MPG than our '11 Yaris which has an identical powertrain but normal tires (horrible Bridgestone RE92s).

Pros: competent handling, very quiet, ride well, slow wearing, good wet performance, improved fuel economy
Cons: not terribly sporty

I ran those Kumhos on the Volvo 850 Turbo I had, I liked them a lot. The only downside was being that the car was heavy, you could feel the sidewall flex in hard cornering, then again they are a sport all season and not a true summer tire so I think they fit the bill nicely.

Pros: liked them a lot, fit the bill nicely
Cons: sidewall flex in hard cornering
Vehicle: Volvo 850

Pros: good treadwear, looks new

I just got rid of my Falken 512s. They were not good (loud, hard, wore out fast), but for that price pretty much nothing is. I ended up going with Kumho ASX's and I'm pretty happy with them. They have a 30k mile warranty and ride much better than the Falken 512s, are quieter, and offer just as much grip. I think they run around $110/tire.

Pros: ride much better, quieter, good grip (Kumho)
Cons: loud, hard, wore out fast (Falken)

I had 245/40-17's Kumho MX's on my WRX and they were okay, but didn't have the ultimate grip of the Falkens.

Pros: okay grip
Cons: lacked ultimate grip
