I had Falkens on until recently. A mis-alignment caused them to wear unevenly at the front so they had to go. Grip was poor even in the dry, I managed to do a tail-slide coming out of a small round about, and got wheelspin several times turning into a road from standstil at lights (too much throttle
). In the snow they are absolutely useless, sliding around at 15mph. In the rain I almost slid into the curb, 4 wheel slide small very bendy road at 30mph.
So I read about Michellin super sports and bit the bullet just had to give them a try at least once, and all I can say is much much better, amazing grip, even when I did a front wheel slide turning into a small road too fast, felt completely controlled.
