My Falken 452 tires (tyres) discontinued!
What a bummer, I go to the tire shop to replace my rear tires only, and they no longer carry the Falken 452 anymore. I searched the Falken website, and they are no longer available.
Instead of replacing my rears I now have to replace all four tires.
Well, I figured this can be an opportunity to explore other brands, any suggestions?
I also came across a few review videos that are keeping me for making the right decision.
Toyo Proxes T1 Sport

Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
(Reviewer suggests great control, heavy duty sidewall and provides great feedback along with quiet)
Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 (Reviewer complaint the sidewall are not stiff enough to standard Z rating)
Falken Azenis FK453 (are these the replacement for the 452?)(No reviews)
So Falken 452 owners what tires will you be replacing your tires with?

Not sure what your driving needs are, but I've had the 452's before and if you really like them, you should give the Potenza 970 or Continental Extreme DWS a try also.
I've had all those on my 545i and so far I like the Potenza the most. The Conti DWS has a bit more road noise compare to the Potenza, but they both ride very well and they are reasonably priced.

I had the 452s on my 545i. I hated em. I switched over to Nitto Motivo's and was much happier. They so far have outlasted the Falkens and the road noise is quieter.

Falken has the 453's .. But if you decide to change them all... Toyo T1r's and the Hankook's are a great choice. But the Toyo's are expensive!
