The time has come to choose new tires for the new shoes. I can get the Falkens for $720 mounted & balanced.
The toyos on the other hand cost $994 m&B. A friend of mine has the toyos and has excelent tread after 30K. The review of the Falkens are fairly good. Which one would you choose?

Go to Tirerack.com and check out the customer reviews for these tires. I have found several sets of tires through the years that I NEVER would have considered before reading the customer reviews! And they all turned out to be great tires!

Well, the Falken's are not as wide as the Toyo T1r's...
Also the Toyo T1r's side wall is round, and Falken's sidewall is square.
T1r's sidewall is not as strong as Falken's... Also Falken's are newer.
Its your choice. =) You might rub with the T1r's compared to the 452's.
Good luck dude.
