I have owned many sets of the T1R's. For the price they are a great wet and dry tire. My next set will be another set of the Toyo T1R's

No experience with the Falkens

The Falkens are very good also... I think it comes to the better deal $$... i do think the Falken's have a little nicer thread pattern

I have some 452's on my 17's(winter rims) and I think they ride like crappola. My 19's actually ride better if you can believe it.

t1r is better than the falken, but not a fan of the T1R's slow turn in response. I would go Hankook S1 or k104.
