Practically speaking, almost anything would be an "upgrade"over the G.Y. EMT's!! Sorry, I can't answer your question about the Falken tires, but if you're looking for non-EMT replacement tire, unless you're "locked in" on the Falken brand, you might give the NITTO 555 tires a look before you break out your wallet.
A set of four tires (stock sizes) will run around $650 -$700, plus tax, mounting,etc.
I've been running them on my 99 and 03 coupes for quite awhile, and I'm very impressed with the ride and handling qualities, both wet & dry, and the especially with the longevity of these tires.
The NITTO's I have one my 99 coupe have over 40K miles on them and there's still plenty of tread on them.... I'm guessing at least another
5-8K.......
Good Luck.....

My buddy has Falcons on his T/A and in my experience with what I have seen out of these tires is they suck. Not sure if they are the same model tire, but brand wise I dont care for them.

Don't waste your money, put on my car and took back off in about
500 miles. Went back to Michilin Pilot sports.

I can tell you where to get them that is very close to Tire Rack prices and has the latest equipment and won't scratch the rims. Only place I trust with my new Z16 wheels I bought. They are in Mass.
