Anyone running Falkan FK-452

[theark11]

I just got a set of ROH Fury's 18x8 and was thinking of running the falken FK-452 245/40/18. If anyone has any info or comments I would appreciate it before I pull the trigger on these thanks!

They are good all-around tires, but they don't have a long lifespan.

I've had them on my car for the last ~2k miles. Definately an improvement over the Kuhmo's I had prior. Traction is still a joke, though :(

[Fat_Nick]

The life span isn't that great but good tire over all

[Maverick Man]

had the tires on my car for about 12k still lots of tread left. i don't go burning out everywhere! ;) it is a very good everyday tire. if your looking for good launching buy a mickey thompson! ;)

I have them on my 75 TransAm 245/45/18 Front and 275/40/18 Rear. Great all around tire!

Get RT-615's if you want traction. :)

[GTOmologato]

I've not had any problems out of mine. They're a hell of a lot quieter than the stock G-force T/A's for sure.

just ordered a set of these for the parents corvette..........dunno yet but i will have an opinion in the future

I heard there not bad... Just not the best for traction.. But like said above by MT's if you want that..

Thanks for all the feed back guys it's greatly appreciated! Once I uncover the GOAT I think I will be going with tires.

Not only do they make the car quieter, the ride is much better as well. I had the T/A's on the rear and Goodrich on front. I just figured the rough ride was the price paid for muscle. If I ran over a piss-ant with the front tires I could tell what sex it was just by listening, lol. Thumbs up for Falken though. I don't roast the tires everytime I stop at a light, but definitely worth the money for the much quieter and smoother ride.

We sell a lot of these tires out of my Calgary based tire shop...and have had good success Keep in mind it's a full on summer tire, and treadwear is in line with most of it's competitors...so it won't last as long as most all-season tires.

Overall, it is fairly quiet, decent in the rain, and is sticky on the dry.

If you don't want to lay down the big bucks for a Michelin, BFG, Pirelli, Toyo, Bridgestone etc...it's a great alternative. +, you don't feel as guilty doing burnouts:)

Good luck with your tire purchase and keep us posted with your feedback, whatever you decide on.

i had them on the front of the car and they are a pretty good tire.
the old fk451 beta where a better tire tho

[Bitchin Camaro]

I like mine. Good bang for the buck kinda thing. Not the best at everything but good in most catagories, especially price.

[MidnightThunder]

i have those exact ones on mine, they are a great tire for the price, they look good and the ride is good, nice and quiet too, traction is not the greatest but they're a hell of alot better then the BFs that were on the car

[vxr500]

I dont have those, but I have the Falken Ziex 512s on my car now and the ride and handling is great. I have about 20k miles on them and they still have plenty left.

I bought them because they worked so well on my Formula. They lasted about 50k on that car.

Great price too

Just waiting for the pot holes to be filled before I get the new wheels and tires mounted. Up here in Michigan that should put me on the road about August HA HA. I will be going with this tire and let you guys how they work out. Thanks for all the input!!
