Falken 452 - any opinions?

ching · 06-19-2010, 12:25 PM

Does anyone have any experience / opinions with these tires?

I'm looking for a good value ultra high performance tire.

Pricing seems good and I can source them locally (not interested in having tires shipped from the US or running across the border for tires).

It sucks. No traction on my Evo.

Get the Vreds from Sorat tires in BC, they're 1000 a set shipped approx - and that's within Canada with GST included.

Much better than POS Falkens

I didnt like them.. Rough drive, low traction, louder as they wear.

I had these tires on my 335. They are just an average tires and as others have said already the traction is low

I have vreds atm and love them

Thanks for the feedback guys, you prevented me from making a bad decision!

The reviews on the internet seemed to suggest that the tires were actually OK, but I couldn't find any empirical reviews.

I'll check out Sorat in BC. Thanks for the tip!

i wouldnt recommend buying cheap tires for the M3... specially the 452 no traction whatsoever...

If I were to go cheap tires I'd go Hankook V12's. 452's suck IMO.
