Falken 452's

Anybody else running these??

Put a pair on the back today. Road noise on the concrete section of motorway seemed greatly increased, fine on other surfaces. Also there seems a bit more of a gap between the wheel rim and bead of the tyre than the Michelin's on the front. Hopefully these will improve as tyre wears down a bit..

I'm running these. The rim protector on the Michelin is much better but for half the price the falken are extremely good value for money. They are slightly noisier but that I put up with. Usually the induction / exhaust noise drowns it out!

They're great in the rain/wet. don't have the ultimate grip of PS2's / Cups but are predictable.

I'm back on PS2's now for winter but cost wise they are good value for money.
