I am looking at a pair of Falken FK 452 tires and wondered if anyone had used them to give me feedback.

Thanks!

I've had them for two summer seasons so far. And they are good. I haven't had any issues so far. This is my summer setup so I only ride it for spring - summer - fall. Not winter.

Wow, i guess we woke up today with the thought of posting the same thread up. I was just going to ask this question.

But my 2 cents from what I have heard is that its a good tire for the price, and i actually haven't heard anything negative yet. So I think this is the choice that i'm going with as well.
Im in FL so i can use them all year round, theres no winter for us

Currently fitted to mine, no complaints apart from severely lacking rim protection of any kind.

Good value and seem to have pretty reasonable wet and dry grip.

Not sure on wear factor yet, see in months to come.

Never used 'em. But I've heard they are one of the best tires out there. I actually have a friend that works for a distributing company for Falken here in Miami, maybe I can get you a good deal. PM me if interested.

Performs well, quiet on the road, and A+thread wear and design! Good luck!

Go with Yokohama S-drives... they're a better tire. Last longer and ride a little better... The Fk-452's are a decent tire, but they are discontinuing them soon. The s-drives just recently came out and I personally prefer them, as does everyone else I've seen try both tires.
