I’m going to give it one star because these are some of the ugliest tires I’ve ever fitted. Ugly to look at, not in driving; their profile is like balloons and the rim looks terrible, and generally the whole car looks old, like a cart. The logos on the side are, I think, the worst thing ever — I don’t think there’s anything uglier on a tire. Now, as tires, they are good and quiet, and in cornering grip they’re still good, considering that their profile is like balloons. I don’t know, they made the whole car look ugly; I should have gone with a square profile. Good tires, yes, but ugly balloon profile. 205/55/16
Okay, you might say, they’re tires, is that what you look at now, the appearance? Yes, I do look at that too, because the beauty of the car changes for those of us who care about these things. As I said, as tires they are very good and dead quiet. The profile, which is like a balloon, has the advantage that over potholes you don’t feel anything; it absorbs very well. The previous ones I had were also Falken, I was completely satisfied, but they had a nicer profile.
