Tire poll and Falken FK-452 feedback..

mtechnik3 · 03-07-2009, 11:28 PM

My daily driver: E90 with Eibach springs and 19" VMR CSLs.
Some of you have probably ran one of these. My price point right now is not really Eagle F1, PS2, P-Zero, Advan Sport, Potenza RE050A, or INVO territory!!

From talking to others and research I'm leaning toward the Falken FK-452 because of value and performance. What kind of mileage can I expect for UTQG 300AA tire? Not tracking just daily spirited driving. Also seriously considering the Vredestein Sessanta, but forgot to add them to the poll.

Comments welcome, thanks for the input.

Ive ran falken 452's on every single aftermarket wheel ive owned....just picked some 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 up

i love falken fk-452 , have hade them on my last 3 cars ... and i've recomended them to a lot of friends 2 =)

Thanks for the feedback and input. Sounds like the Falkens are a pretty good choice!
I just realized that the Sumitomo and Yoko S.drive is only available in 275/30 size. I prefer to run a 265/30. My rear wheels are too aggressive of an offset to run 275s...Kind of narrows it down now.

I think Toyo or Falken are a great choice great bang for the buck!

I got Falken's myself because I got a great price!
