for the money the falkens cant be beat, if you want way better youd have to spend twice the amount, with the 452s you are at the point of diminishing returns so its really a no brainer

And yo, fair is fair - you got Falkens because they are better for stretching - round edges and all. Can't lie, dood - I remember

I got the V12 Evos to replace my 452s. I also switched to 285 on the rear and yanked my 12mm spacers out. I have no complaints; these tires are better IMO

don't forget hankook has a rebate for $60 if you buy four of the v12 evos. rebate form should be at the store on you can find it online too. better choice in my opinion and good luck!

I've been running the 452's, and had to replace the rears twice (getting approx. 8 - 10k miles out of them). The fronts still look new. I was debating going with a different brand to get more mileage, but due to $ issues, I will stick w/ Falkens for now and have the camber reduced. Other than the inside of the tires getting really worn, the rest of it looks great.
What is everyone's thoughts on having the camber reduced slightly? I know I will be sacraficing handling a bit, but I'm not tracking the car. I need to get more miles, since the is my daily driver and I put on A LOT of miles.
