Falken Pro G4 A/S Tire Review & Rating
The Falken Pro G4 A/S is the latest addition to their high performance all-season tire lineup. It has been designed to provide drivers of coupes and sedans increased traction and handling, as well as better treadwear.
Falken uses their exclusive Dynamic Range Technology in the tread makeup of the G4 AS that adds a high-silica content tread compound along with an asymmetric tread pattern for added traction on dry and wet road surfaces.
The compound is designed to stay pliable in colder conditions for better handling on snow and ice, yet remain strong when road surface temperatures heat up for enhanced dry handling and improved treadwear.
3-D siping around the shoulders helps create more biting edges for traction on snow and ice, while making the tire more responsive and stable in dry conditions. That said, this is by no means a snow tire.
Road noise is reduced due in part to the variable tread depth design that varies the size and placement of the tread blocks for a quieter ride comfort. For the most part it works well on this tire. It's only on the roughest surfaces that you really notice any noise.
Ended up passing on these Falken tires for the 2007 Coupe. But I did order a set of Barum Bravuris 3 UHP tires from Discount Tire Direct. (Note: The OEM Conti's have seen a better day.) Should be here by Friday at a local Discount Tire store for install this weekend. I had a set of Barum Bravuris 2 on my 1993 Suzuki Swift GT. Might have been one of the best set of tires I've had.
Later,
