i've used them on a (says quietly) Vectra Sri with good results, gripped and wore very well imo i was quite happy with them even in the wet, mind you,lift off oversteer was prevelant in the damper conditions but it felt controlled and was predictable at the limit

I've stuck a set of 912's on the Sport. teh tyres seems pretty good value for money if you ask me.

I coudl be wrong but I think the 912's replaced the 452's?

The 452s are superb; use the 'search' facility and you'll see

Had the FK 452's on three Scoob's and an MX-5. Big thumbs up. Always got them from the above address or quote their prices at the dealers.

thanks for the input everybody i had some falkens on a gsi cavalier years ago
seemed a good tyre for the price, but as a GSI and a scob are a bit different
i thought id ask, think i get some and give them a try.

Not just good for the price- they're excellent and, imho, and rather considerable experience, much better that Toyo's and on a pr with Eagle F1s.

They're held in very high regard by the skyline boys, and also the evo crowd on the MLR love them.

I have the 452's after reading loads of reviews on various forums.
Mine are 215/40/17's and are great allround.
They cost me £224 delivered from Camskill.
