Very poor dry grip
poor steering feel makes you less confidence
not so stable during high speed
feels horrible when trying to do high speed driving style
even worst when it is hot day

Summary:
The Falken GRB makes the WRX renowned handling and grip worst. I thought that after changing to GRB my car's handling would be excellent. I will never buy any falken tyres anymore and would not recommend to those who seek for performance and handling.

 1994 Accord

Strengths:
Low price
Nice look

Weaknesses:
Poor dry Grip
Decent wet grip

Summary:
When tire is new and has maximum tread, grip is unbeleivably terrible when road conditions are dry, when wet, grip is decent, when tread gets really worn (1/4 inch left) grip is a little better on dry road, but disgusting in wet weather. I have my car lowered 2.25", Ingalls F/R Camber kit, F/R strut tower bars, KYB AGX Adjustable shocks, Suspension Techniques F/R Sway Bars, and my tires are the weak link. This is the easiest tire to make howl in an off ramp.

I've had stock michelin MXV4's on my Accord coupe, they seem to handle better in the rain compared to the Falkens.
