I hear these tires are very sticky, and they're only $85 each.



Opinions?

I'll be driving the Subaru in bad weather, so I'm not too worried about wet traction.

i think you'd have to worry about the rain and bad weathera lot........ the tread seems like it would be horrible in bad conditions

If you're going to go autoX, buy them with a quickness. Some people say that they are OK in the rain, other say otherwise. If they sold them in my size in America I'd buy them. They are some of the best low-buck, high-performance tires out there.

The only time I'd get worried about being caught in the rain would be on my trips to NY/NJ...otherwise I can always drive the Subaru. I think I'll get them once I get paid for this website I built.

SCC (Sport Compact Car) magazine did a rundown on a bunch of different tires from a bunch of different companies. They gave the falkens a good rating, and even personally reccomended them when they were doing track tests on their project WRX. And as has been already mentioned, they're quite cheap and a quality tire.

Yea, if you don't plan on getting into too much rain.. then get them.
