My dad has those falkens on his '90 GP. Its his bad weather/winter beater car and the tires are great in the snow. Dry pavement traction is excellent and wet and snow is pretty good, for the price he got exactly what he wanted, Z rating, 245/50/16'*, and good all around traction, and he got all 4 for well under $400 mounted & balanced with road hazard warranty. What you went with does look like a good choice though.

Having to outfit 2 cars with tires, it'* not practical for me, but it would be nice.

I've got 225/60R16 V-rated, exactly the ones you're looking at. I bought them for my 95 SSEi and then got them swapped over to the Park when I got it.
They probably have somewhere around 40k miles on them, and they still have good tread, in spite of the fact that I'm a major leadfoot, and I've had them to the track fairly often.
I think the people who gave them bad reviews may have looking at them as a strictly high-performance tire, and they're not. They're an excellent all-season tire, but they can't compete against drag-radials, or ultra-high-performance stuff.
