stephenahood Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Has anyone tried the Falken FK-452 tire as of yet? Looks like a bargain/performance balance, but are they worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effin Ponderous Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I ran Falken Ziex ZE512's on my G35. At the time, the were the only performance tire on the market with a tread wear waranty (30K). I put 40k on them myself with "spirited" driving. Ride was pretty decent, and they were inexpensive...about $500 for 225/40-18's. I think the 452's replaced the 512's but can't say for sure. Overall the Falkens are a good JDM tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONRAMP Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I have Falkens as well, but not the 452's. I have the ST115's, and for the money, I am extremely pleased. I got them for about $90/tire in the stock size. I am very hard on tires, and these are holding up as well as or better than any premium tires I've had on other cars, including Conti's, Bridgestones, and Yokohamas. I would strongly consider the 452's when my ST115's are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL PAALO Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 452 is the 451 replacement. 451 was a decent bang for the buck tire so the 452 should be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ255_alan Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'm having ST115s on mine (225/45ZR17)...excellent street tire - extremely low noise(VS OE RE92As)...and it does perform decently when it's on track(consistent grip level and temp), only issue is the sidewall was a little too soft that then you hit a 3rd gear high-spd corner it'd(the tire "shoulder") rub the ground *maybe I was a little demanding on a 140cnd piece tire =P*..anyhow...if my 115s r gone I'd highly possible to pick 452s and for 452...i read a canadian tire website rating this tire is 4.7 out of 5 alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legasee Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I heard the ST115's are discontinued...I have the 512's too...pretty good tires for A/S, will consider the 452's on my next purchase (I'd also like to try some ST115's since I've heard that they are so quiet! ) In Taiwan now...
