I've got Falken 452's and they don't seem to have enough grip at launch...seems like I'm always spinning my tires; however, turning has been awesome with these tires.

there was a long time i ran 90-95psi on my Pirelly P-Zero Nero tires in boston for a while and hitting potholes...somehow they're in good shape...no bubbles nor bent rims...its a miracle!

The FK 452's does a good job of what it advertises. The grip is decent and the treadwear is great and you can drive in the rain just fine. It the perfect combo for most.

I wish there was something between the Falken Azenis RT615 and the FK452's. The 452's are not sticky enough for me and the RT615 is impossible to drive in the rain.

i still have it on my daily!!! haha

The tires are quiet, and thats about all the good i can say. I guess im expecting too much since its a "all season" tire but it rolls on the sidewalls way too easily and the tramlining on the freeway is crazy. if i let go of my steering wheel for 2 seconds, i will surely go into the other lane. And not to mention in the rain, it feels like summer tires, it hydroplanes really badly.

Did you have any of these problems simon? Although i will say that these tires last FOREVER. 400treadwear ftl!

no problems at all....i can't expenct it to deliver too much performance since my volvo won't give me any proformance at the first place...
in terms of comfort, quietness, decent traction and treadwear....can't complain....i'm happy with my volvo with it given the price is pretty cheap from tirerack....like 109 per piece....

somehow my AVONS and current Bridgestone RE750 also tramline on the freeway....was it because its gripping on the grooves on the freeway???
(btw...i really HATE the freeway here cut those grooves....creates more road noise and sacrifice a lot grip on all the tires....)
