I've used the 451's back in the day and had a set of 452's on my last car. They served me well. they weren't the stickiest but they did have good tread life. Never used the goodyears so can't comment there.

MAJOR EDIT!!! i made a mistake with the goodyear tires, i meant to compare Bridgestone potenza 760's with the Falken 452's...

If you are a penny pincher, look at Continental DW. If you buy into the "all season" myth, then the DWS.

Second time i've seen you say this...

Wrong. The RE760's are a high performance summer only tire. They grip way better than the RE050A.

Ask me how I know.

Had my 225 and 255 "760's" installed today. Only a handful of miles...happy with them so far.

Quiet, grippy, and far more comfortable than the RFT's.
