I ran Falkens on my old A4. They did everything I asked of them (wet, dry, power slides ), for not much money
So the deal surprised me. I got 5 wheels and 2 with bent lip and 3 brand new 245 40 17 falken azenis pt722. So as I drove back stopped by Passaic county tire in psrerson Nj and got the tires dismounted and sold them the tires for $50.
I got falken tires made in Thailand on my tahoe and some tires mad in Czech Republic on my mini cooper.
Just put a set of 329s on my A4 and already feel a huge improvement in the ride quality.
My housemate's '10 Mini Clubman has Sailun tires (not his choice) on it. In all honesty they're not bad at all, given they're still good with 10k miles on them, and the torrential rain we experienced on I-95 the past week (on a 2000+ mile trip). Likely will get better next time, but they're holding up well.
I run Falken 512 in 205/45/16 on 16x7 wheels. I wouldn't run 40 sidewall, particularly if stretched onto an 8.
I HIGHLY suggest Falken Azenis PT722. My local Audi Indy shop is practically getting all of their customers on these after they had it on their performance Audis.... And they loved them. I put them on my Passat.... Best tire I have had on that car.
I have the azenzias on my GLI and they're still on in this winter, and have been really impressed.
- Quiet when new - Reasonable grip dry/wet - Cheap to buy http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif - Lack of serious siping = don't bother in the snow - Gets noisy starting about halfway worn - If you have any autocrossing aspirations... don't.
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.
