nothing wrong with falkens for winter driving, yokohamas are slippy in the wet!

yoko's for summer use i'd say. lots of grip on dry roads

Falkens don't tend to have grip in the wet. They are *ok* in the dry, but if you want to stay on the road in the wet get some Yokos, they tend to disperse water better, and I think they warm up quicker so give you better grip quicker.

best tyres i ever had were the yokos A008's on 10 x 6 weller wheels but i found that they wore out very quickly ... ( probably because of my driving style...) but excellent tyres
