About a month ago I got an a great deal on a customer cancellation of a set of (4) Pirelli P4 Plus' from Sams Club. Couldn't pass up the deal....basically $59 a tire w/$40 install and all the future benefits offered. (Now, I'm familiar w/this tire because my Golf has these same tires for the last 21k miles.) The stock Falken Sincera's @17k miles were almost down to the wear bars. So I decided to not wait any longer and had the Pirelli's installed. What a world of difference for the better! The car tracks so much better and drives so much smoother. A great feeling knowing the car is safer for the family. Annually the car does get that many miles so age will most likely the determining factor in its replacement. Lots of choices out there for new tires and whichever you are going to choose will most likely be a huge step up in from the OEM Falkens!

No way to edit....Annually the car doesn't get that many miles....

Definitely not a fan of the OEM Falkens on my wife's SV, she is closing in on 30k, and we've had them rotated every 5k, not as worn as yours were, but definitely not the same tire as when it was new.

The Falkens on the vehicle are garbage. I think ours lasted about 30K miles. With that said...Falken offered me 4 new tires for the Discount Tire store price of 2 so I went for it.These have a longer tread warranty so we'll see how we go.

How did you contact Falken ? Did you complain about there tires so they offered you that deal and how are you liking them so far ?

Hello all. Just wanted to post a follow up on the P4's Plus'. I have this same tire (different size) on my Golf. These tires are 6+ yrs old and they are getting really noisy. (Plenty of trend left.) I never realized just how loud they have become. (I let my daughter borrow the Golf for a couple months so I drove my BMW 325i w/new Hankook Ventius V2's.) What a quiet, smooth riding tire! I would not recommend the Pirelli. Go w/something else. The Hankook's are wonderful. We shall see on the Sport.

You probably got yourself sorted by now, but this may help someone else. I use Discount Tire as my go to for tire replacements. As the tires were still under the treadwear warranty, they phoned Falken and gave them the details and I ended up with 4 for the price of 2 courtesy of Falken. With that said I'm not sure the ones now are any better than the originals and they are supposed to have a greater treadwear warranty on them than the originals. So at some point I'll end up back at Discount Tire and see if I can get something to make it worthwhile to stick with Falken or if it's time to get another brand.
