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.

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

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.

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

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!

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. Hello Anthony,

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