Default Falken FK452

I am considering swapping my 17s for some 18s. I have shod my last 3 Imprezas with GSD3s. I replaced the RE050s with F1s on 2 Blobeyes and Pirelli P Zeros on my Classic. I have also run RE040.
Before I do the easy thing and opt for more Goodyears, I'm considering some Falkens. I've read great reviews, both from Impreza drivers and M3, 350Z etc. I've no complaints about the Goodyears, I know the GSD has been superceded, so I will be buying a different tyre. However, I fancy something different and have not heard many negatives about the Falkens. Only interested in the FK452 by the way. Thanks. Bob

I had them on mine before i bought a wheel an tyre package, i would say they were good value and good performance, there are better tyres (like the yoko parada which i have now) but you pay for them. This is of course my humble opinion

On my second set, can't fault them for the money.

Great tyre, had them on this and the previous car, and they work well especially considering the price

Just fitted them to my 18"s, can't really tell you what they are like at the moment. For the price though you can't go wrong, I paid £300 for 4, plus fitting.

i use them on 17's on my classic, find them great wet or dry, not too much road noise like some others ie yoko's and of course the price is a big winning factor.
