I passed on these, as they didnt get good recommendations from drivers on discounttires website, which was surprising as I though Dunlop made good tires.

I've been riding on a set of these tires for 18 months and they are good tires, not the best, but for the price, I cannot complain!

+1 the prices is so cheap for 19", that is why I order them
Agreed...as I looked at these too when I was doing some reasearch. I compared the Falken 452's, the DZ101's and Nitto 555's. All seemed to be in that $230-$250 price range, however I found that the DZ101 had the least positive feedback from users. Again I only compared the feedback from customers on discount tire, and specifically for me I only looked at feedback from guys who what rear wheel drive cars with some torque. I dont want some guy in a front wheel drive Honda telling me how his tires performed
Totally different animal...What I really wanted was some Goodyear Eagle GT's since I live in CO, however the 275/30/19's are still in production, so I can only currently get the front sizes. Anyway I would have probably went with the Nitto's over all 3, but since my front Falken ST115's were still at 65% tread life, I figured Id stay with the same brand. We'lll see how these 452's hold up
I think in any case for $250 bones a pop for a 300 treadwear tire with any of the above you cant go wrong
