Falken FK452

Anyone running these?

I was looking at those on line today. Looking for feedback myself.

I have them, ran them last summer and just put them on last week for this season. I picked them up because I got a great deal and the rounded sidewall helps me run 265's in the back. I have no complaints of the actual tires, they have held up well, are good in the wet and have nice grip (although I have yet to test these at the track, this will happen in a couple months). Anything in particular you want to know?

i'd go another route, i replaced my g35's RE050A's with these... didn't grip as well, when they wore down they were pretty loud too.. you can find a better bang for the buck.

Open to suggestions.

I need a performance tire that is good in the rain (Florida).

I do 100 miles a day highway 70 - 90 cruise

Ditto. I never had an issue with noise on the FK452's and I ran them for more then 20k miles.

I also run them, and have no issues with noise or anything. I like them.
