Sorry i cant help but i was about to ask the same ,seen good deals on khumo tyres too.

I had a set of FK452s and replaced them within 2 weeks. Needless to say, POS.

Got some up front on mine. Never had a problem with them

I've got the 452 on 18s and I can't fault them:notworthy . I've raced on Toyos and used the S & the R on the road and I would say the Falken 452s have better grip, however the 451s are another story:nono:.
Paul.

i had a set on a Audi S2
going round a large roundabout at about 15-20 mph an hour after it had been raining in summer i ended up in a 4 wheel slide ???:eek:

it could of been due to a lot of things on the road ie diesel spill or what ever
but i never did get a good feeling from them.

changed them to Goodyear F1's 3 days later

Ok
Thanks a lot guys

I've always used fk452's on mine and found them superb for the price. If your car is setup well then they are a good tyre.

I have 452s on my speedlines 18's.

think they are one of the best , great in the wet and the dry. done 7k on them now, never a prob.

my bro just put a set on his boxster s, and he said they feel more stable in the wet than the goodyears he had.

A big :thumb: from me.

personally i think the 451's grip better than the 452's, but due to different tread pattern on the shoulders of the 452 they seem to wear better, for the money i think they are a very good tyre, but there is obviously better about if you can afford it, good in wet and dry, but there a budget tyre at the end of the day, i will be upgrading mine soon, no point spending loads on uprated brakes and suspension and having cheap tyres, cause there all only as good as the rubber thats sticking you to the road

Mixed bag.

I went from Toyo S' to the FK452s and experienced lurid understeer, oversteer loss of traction etc even in the dry. (I have a good setup btw).

I changed to Eagle F1s and normal service has been resumed

I put it down to the power of the car overwhelming the grip afforded by the tyre so it might be fair to say that a mildly modded WRX would find them more than adequate.
