I put these tires on my car a year ago last spring. Great ride, handling, excellent hydroplaning resistance. BUT, they have worn excessively on the edges, down the wear bars in less than 15,000 miles. I rotate frequently, make sure they are inflated properly (increased to 37# to slow edge wear, no cigar)and the car is aligned properly. I have Michelin Arctic Alpins for my winter snows and they have gotten 2-3 times the wear of these Falkins, so it is not the car or my driving habits. I will be replacing the Falkins soon with Yokohamas...
