I would have no objection to these tires, if not a little noise on their nawierzchcniach asphalt. Light begins to hum a little pow 90km/hi bothers me, especially since I have a good soundproof car almost did not hear the engine.

For a long time I have not had a bad winter tire. On my Skoda I installed the continental. on my Renault - Semperit. Both were tires with directional tread. Snow tire behavior Falken HS 439 is unbearable. They slide, do not take the road when cornering. If you value your safety do not buy these tires there.

On impeccable dry even on wet asphalt. Compared with Pirelli Sotto Zero, under these conditions there was not anything wrong. Sudden braking or rapid bypass obstacles, always without problems. Snow and slush, unfortunately, much worse. Fresh snow in the wet I happened to have a problem with you leaving a small hollow and almost ended up sliding into a ditch. Snow level road given face, but they put the 180 horses a little too high expectations - TCS solve this problem easily. Durable tires for two seasons (about 20 tkm) and probably withstand two more if they were not stolen.

I drive a Skoda Octavia 1.9 and the longest time I could not decide which tires I buy. The customer service person told me these Falken HS 439 and I was not at all convinced to buy this particular brand :) However, one thing has encouraged me to take this decision - a one-year warranty which cover all mechanical damage. This tire is manufactured in Japan :) only in Japan! What matters a lot to me. As for driving, I am very pleasantly surprised. The car holds the road very well in turns, it is silentieux, guarantees comfort. I would give 5 + rating

I have this tire since 2008. Today is the season 4 - about 50,000 km traveled, this is his last season because the tires have more than 5mm and the winter is over. the tire is great as a summer rain, snow and ice below expectations as the Japanese.

tires work well on dry and wet go directly back on track and keep great sense, no noise, many in the inhibition of (dry and wet), an average of tight turns, I think compared to the previous long life - almost no conflict (so I think), I suggest you buy early!

Welcome. On these two winter tires as I drove, I live in London, so that was driven route to polish and return trip to the Polish alps mountains in winter and skiing in Livigno. After land Mazury 1000 km per year on average. So far, I drove about 17000 km. I will say right tire, decent to very decent road slush stick satisfactory kopny snow time I had to wear chains in the Alps, but this is normal. my driving style on the average estimate pollination is not as stupid on the road in winter, but the 130-140 can run on them as compacted snow is pulled up to 100 km. Check with Parking in trouble. Personally, I can not recommend the anvil. Earlier black mialme Fulda and was also ok, but what surprised me was a small fuel tank! I think the same two winters on posmigam quietly.

For wet and dry handling and braking asphalt flawless at all speeds. Snow from the previous lot Pirelli Sotto Zero worse. Serious problems occurred on a small slope with you emerge - wet, packed snow, heavy car. Handling and braking on snow (with the help of ASR) has not caused problems, but again, Pirelli were significantly better. Noise winter tires - a clear, but not annoying. Sustainability - led two seasons, would give the same advice one or two no problem, if they were not stolen.

Ok for road performance, Falken HS 439 does not behave well, starting with the snow. Ice ice - leaves us without words. With snow chains on snow should be cautious. The wet OK. I have not tested in excess of 120 km / h - for now only city driving. The biggest problem so far has been shown to mount the tires on the rims and tires very difficult - the profile is very low, so it does not seem strange, but when you tried installing much to put the tire on the rim (came after well lubricated and increased to more than 5) In my case, it should not be so - yes, not the road comportamneto not buy a second time. As for winter driving - is OK and that the purpose was it. Maybe even the alloy wheels - (Dotz) had the problem, even if the tire dealer told me he has already mounted on the type of circle so many times to different tires and I never had a problem - I can not believe in the same circle on the same model we built the Goodyear and it was normal. If you buy must buy in the shop, where you will immediately on the rim - if there are problems, we can immediately take other tires, it is easier to apply directly to the tire and by courier.

I chose the tires Falken HS 439 according to the views of users and the mechanic who I visit regularly and when I change my tires. For the moment I think about these tires is really favorable. The tires are great, they are silentieux, ensure comfortable ride. It offers incredible stability on wet and fresh snow which fell a few days ago. Sometimes there is not much snow but be careful :) So far I've traveled 1500 km and it is all I can say about these winter tires. I recommend them for the winter season and its specific driving conditions. In addition I am fallen, I bought when they were on sale on the site :) Oponeo.fr
