Falken 452's
 
Anybody else running these??

Put a pair on the back today. Road noise on the concrete section of motorway seemed greatly increased, fine on other surfaces. Also there seems a bit more of a gap between the wheel rim and bead of the tyre than the Michelin's on the front. Hopefully these will improve as tyre wears down a bit..

I'm running these. The rim protector on the Michelin is much better but for half the price the falken are extremely good value for money. They are slightly noisier but that I put up with. Usually the induction / exhaust noise drowns it out!

They're great in the rain/wet. don't have the ultimate grip of PS2's / Cups but are predictable.

I'm back on PS2's now for winter but cost wise they are good value for money.

I'm using them myself and rate them highly for the price. 4 Tyres for £500 fitted!

I've had them round Knockhill too, were good but went off quite quickly.

Mark was using them too and had them on when he went to the Ring earlier this year. Mine seem to be lasting FOREVER!

For the money, I think they're great.... @ 35psi!

I got these a few weeks ago, and must admit im a little worried with the performance and would be interested to hear your thoughts..

Ive got PS2s on the front and Falken 452s on the back, ever since the car feels a little light on the rear at high speed on B-Roads, and the traction light seems extra eager! Is this the tyres? Or is it me not getting used to the lesser grip of my old PS2s?
