I ordered Falken FK452 tyres today, for a very good price indeed. apparently this is the new flagship tyre from Falken, anyone had any experience?

the 452's are meant to be a serious step-up from the 451's. what did you find wrong with them?

0% grip in the dry Leathal in the wet, didnt last very long and for what they cost they were expensive!

Maybe they have improved them now tho

tyres are rediculously priced out here, the Falkens work out to about £70 a tyre equiv, and thats cheap! GS-D3's, SP9000's are upwards of £150 per tyre
