Oh, so Falken good tyres are FK series? So is not that bad after all but some said
Falken brand is the lowest quality tyre in overseas....:hmmmm2:
Falken brand also have their range like BS having Turanza and Potenza. Falken range are Ziex and Azenis. Because they always market the Ziex range kao kao, not much mention about the Azenis.
Earlier days they did push the Azenis ST-115. I have used many sets of this, because money for value...Again like BS the Potenza have the high range and low range from RE-030 to RE-070 or S-001, the Falken Have PT and FK range.
Okay, better not confuse you too much....ha! ha!
Falken in UK listed in Mid with the likes of Toyo, Yoko, Hankook and Kumho

The best tires I've ever used are Michelin Pilot Sport 3. For daily driving and some occasional fast cornering action, these tires are excellent, rain or shine. Excellent grip and superb steering response. It's quite comfy too. The only downside is it's price, especially for 17" wheels and above. Hardcore drivers may not like their soft sidewalls though.
Exactly, one have to find the tyre that fits one priorities. Hardcore will go extreme tyres, but not good for daily drives...

Not lowest quality but inexpensive compares to most brand. I like Falken Azenis (Not sure what model it is?) and Kumho XS or MX. Those are "grippy" tires for autox and track but not good in rain.
Very stiff side wall, so noisy and "bumpy". I have seen Dunlop Direzza DZ101 did very well after heat cycled. Advan tires are also grippy but more expensive.
If using Komho XS and MX series the Falken should be the RT-615 extreme series....

Falken ZE-322 and ZE-522 are quite hopeless in wet. Old ZE-912 is not too bad.
I think Azenis series is their top of the range offering. I have used ST-115 and I could say
it's on the same level with Yokohama S.Drive. Aqua planing is very bad at 50% though.
FK-452 is fine but noisy.
AD-07 and 08 is damn stick in dry but the same cannot be said in wet. I have more confident to drive fast in wet with the S.drive compare to AD-08.
Good all round tyres are PS3. Grippy in both condition and still being comfortable. Prefer something cheaper like RE-002 for touge though.
Yup, the ZE-322 and 522 are just budget range. ST-115 no more....and FK-452 directional now replace with FK-453 asymmetric....
FK-452
FK-453
Yah! now looks like CSC, HPY and so on....haha
