As the title please, i'm thinking of getting a pair for the back of my touring and was hoping for some 1st hand feed back rather than brand 'X' is better kind of thing ?

I've got them on my touring, and had them on the M3.
Good all round tyre, they wear well, and good grip wet and dry.

got em on my cab, good tyre in the dry i have Bridgestone Potenzas on my schnitzer rims and there was no difference on the road. my cab has never seen a wet road so i have no idea on that
they are a good tyre and we use them here for local races (a 2.0 litre class system), they last well

I use them on the front of mine, I find they feel positive and have good grip wet or dry. I used them on the back but Found they wore down a bit quick so I now use 365 condom sport's on the back.

I had a set on track car there were not good on track
Compared to the yoko a385
Got no feedback and the grip was non-existent just slid when you
Push hard in to the corner and spun up on acceleration
I was not impressed at all
But as I say sis is all on track

not tried them myself but i've never been very impressed with falkens.
a tyre both me and my bro use and are very impressed with is the Marangoni Zeta Linea. odd sounding thing with a mad tread pattern and in my opinion (from road use only mind) they're better than toyo proxes. cheaper too!

Interesting. 3 positive comments, an 'I'll buy them then', and then 2 negatives...

i have used them and thought they were a decent tyre for the money.
not brilliant in any area, but a decent tyre and good value for money, and would have no problem puttig falkens on any of my cars

They are bloody good but damn expensive, circa £120-130 in the size i need on the backs.
Plus they arn't the best type of tyre to have at this time of year.
