Surprising the Falken & Nokian can get ranked pretty high but yeah the BS & Michelin are using wrong tires. If with the comparable tires (Potenza & PS series), the Falken & Nokian most likely can get lower rating. Hankook should have used the V12E2. Advan Sports, not so surprised actually coz in many other tests also ends up mid range most of the time.
i dont see why its surprising Falken ranked high... im actually surprised they didnt get higher?

why? coz Azenis, thats why. not Ziex. Ziex memang crap.

But Azenis, ive used the old ST115, and they are pratically one of the best tires ive ever used... especially in the wet.

Coz in most tests the Azenis FK453 usually ends up mid-low ranking if compared to UHP tires of other top brands. Maybe this newest version also improves more.

I used many sets of the ST115 before also. For me they were good in dry and wet, but wet after 50% quite scary because they only have 2 straight grooves and once worn becomes like semi slick.....hhahahhaa
I used the FK452 also, wet aquaplaning is good but dry not as good as ST115. After that FK453 did not use.....:smokin:

Does it any good...cant find it in the article...
Nexen AU5 are all seasons tyres. Bro. Izso already comment they are normal tyres and he prefer to go back to performance tyres.....:biggrin:

Even though Nexen states they are UHP tyres but once they also put fuel savings logo they become eco tyres to me....lol
Moreover thread pattern have too many sipes means harder compound also.
