They're supposed to be quite crappy in the rain. That's their downfall. And you also get about 10k on them if you're lucky. But damn everyone at the auto-x loves them.

handling - sidewalls are very very very very stiff... turn in is crisp as hell. Love them for that. The car changes direction very very fast without even so much as a chirp. Good god are they good.

As Kevin mentioned already, they are great tires for track/auto-x. However, tire tread is very poor like most high performance tires (look at the RA1).
If you don't track/auto-x your car, I'd say the tires are wasted. You're better off buying something with a better tread rating for the street. My racing buddies use these up in just under 1 season, ouch!

Yep, that's what they come with here in Ontario too. Never seen Falkens on any stock car from the dealership. I have used them before. Unfortunately, at the time I didn't do any track driving and I really did waste them. Ate them up on the street in 1.5 seasons. Great tires nonetheless.
