The Falken FK-06 finished a strong third in the recent Motor magazine

tyre test behind the Bridgestone RE-710 and the Yoko A510.  I haven't

tried them myself, but every tyre test I have read gives them excellent

performance and great value for money, so I'm considering them for one

of my other cars.



BTW I have run expedia S-01's for a while and don't like them. Initially

I thought they were OK, but they lack traction in the wet, and let go

very abruptly in the dry.



Hope this helps!
