I have been using Falken 452s for the past 4 years on a weekend car. 215.45.17 with Koni sports REDs and HR springs. These are great tires. I have had them all and this by far has to be the best value. Super sticky and great responsive sidewalls. These are my 2nd pair and I will looking for a 3rd set soon. Keep up the good work.

Well Ken, the Falken 452’s came off the night before a crazy ice storm here mid November 2007 in Toronto, and have plenty of tread left and easily another spring/summer/fall season left on them.

I put about 20,000km on them and I am not a gentle driver.

Best valued tire I have yet to have my 1993 Honda Prelude SRV.

Cheers

Mixing tires with drastically different patterns will have some adversity. It will be quite unpredictable even more when it rains. I work for a tire outfit in Melbourne. My advise is ‘don’t’.

The Falken 452 is actually one of the best value tyre at it’s retail price. The only other tire that have rather similar pattern is the Dunlop Direzza. The Falken 452 is also probably one of the most hated tires to may competitors at the moment.

Hello Yin, what do you mean with “not to be mixed”? I have Michelin on hte front and Falken 452 on the rear. Isn’t that good?

The Falkens 452 is perhaps the best value tires today. Except for the Michelin PS 2 and Michelin Primacy MXV4 which I consider to be the most exceptional tires aorund, the Falken 452 will deliver a glimpse of the most expensive tires for a fraction of their price.

It will better Michelin Pilot Preceda 2 and Toyo T1R for sure(grip and noise respectively). Comfort wise, these tires are nearly about the same.

Not: The Falken 452 should not be mixed with tires with vastly different thread pattern. This also apply generally to all tires regardless of brand. I used to work at BOB JANE TYRE MART!

Hello Anthony,
I decided to buy two FK-452 for my Volvo V70 2.5 and put them in the rear (it has front traction). I had 4 Michelin Pilot Primacy, now just two.
Well, in a few words, after about 150 km. I’m quite afraid to drive again with those tires under my bottom!! I never felt so unsure while driving, I feel the car “going away” when I turn it. I’ can’t explain how you are so enthousiast of them. Cheers.

Good editorial of the new tire. I’d be interested in seeing how you feel about them in a few months for sure.
