Since my old tires were worn out, I needed a new set for the summer. I spent the winter reading forums, tests, and recommendations on this site and concluded that these tires were excellent. However, after mounting them and driving just 5 km, I realized they were absolute rubbish. There was tremendous road noise—despite the fact that my car has been fully soundproofed. Okay, I thought, let's drive a bit to warm them up; maybe it will improve—but nothing changed; the noise actually got worse. My 80-year-old mother even asked if I was driving on studded winter tires; it was impossible to hold a normal conversation or listen to music in the car. On top of that, the steering feel is terrible; the sidewalls are incredibly soft, so forget about sporty driving. The tires pull on the highway, making it hard to keep the car steady—it feels like jelly. With five adults in the car driving at 130 km/h, controlling the steering is an immense struggle. There is also noticeable vibration at speeds of 120–130 km/h. The only plus side is the reasonable price. Previously, the car had Pirelli PZero PZ4s, which lasted two summers. Then I switched to Falken FK520s, which lasted three summers. The Falkens were actually better than the Pirellis—great grip, sporty handling, stiff sidewalls, and low road noise (the Pirellis were noisier). The only solution for me, if I want a decent driving experience again, is to buy Falkens back and take these old tires to the scrapyard. I wouldn't recommend these tires to anyone.
