Hello, the last thread about tyres of the brand Falken-Ohtsu is already 2 years old and not exactly clear. In short, it is about that I need for our new cars for the next winter each a set of winter bikes. Since the tires are quite luxuriantly dimensioned, of course, these wheels are not exactly cheap. If you look at what the big suppliers on the internet have to offer so complete wheels, then of course there is the whole China scrap (comishly ga r not so much cheaper than brand goods) and then follow as the cheapest brand tires Sava, Avon, Falken-Ohtsu and Firestone. Sava and Avon already leave once, because the test results at ADAC are not really good. So stay Falken-Ohtsu and Firestone. I had the Firestone Firehawk Evo II on my old car and that was rather average but quite usable. About the Falken-Ohtsu HS-439 there are no neutral test results, only these praises of amateur testers be i reifestest.com. Since there are 15 to 20 Euro difference between the falcons and the powerful Firestone, these tyres would be worth considering at 8 new winter bikes to create. So dear falcon riders: What are the Japanese winter tyres? For me especially the grip on snow and ice is important and of course the wetness should also be acceptable. Both of them do not even make the premium manufacturers really good. had already once winter tyres from Yokohama, and these were almost optimal for my requirements.
