I’d completely disagree with Mat, Falken are pants, Kunho KU-31s are decent but I’d say the Maxxis MAV-1s are superior in every respect bar wear rate, which I don’t give a toss about but each to their own and all that.
Why do so many high performance BMW/Audi/Merc drivers go for Falkens then?
Maxxis reviews are poor, Falkens aren’t bad at all. I personally don’t like them much (had them on a GTi) but for the money, they are fairly decent.
The recent thread on here about them also had a previous Maxxis owner telling us how cr4p they are.
I use Conti Sport Contact 3s all round but they aren’t actually relevant to the criteria. Great tyres though.
