Being usually one of the cheaper tyres in the test, the japanese Falken still delivers very safe characteristics for everyday driving. It suffers a bit in the efficiency department, with higher rolling resistance and limited mileage.

A very cheap tyre made in Europe with sufficient grip, but very short life. Not sporty. Good for people that don't drive just occasionally.

The Dynaxer HP4 is a balanced tyre, but some of the tests criticize it's worse mileage and wet performance. For a lower price, it could be a good option.
