Don't bother with these, once worn down a bit all the good points disappear as fast as your your back end will do in the rain if you try to hard on these tyres.
Don't worry it won't take you long to wear these out I got less then 3000 on the rears I could eventually see the wear week by week. I think even a pro banger racer would think twice about fitting these new for the world final, go for a good remould instead !!!!

I am just about to fit my 6th set of Falken FK-452s. I had three set on my Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 and am just about to fit a 3rd set to my Volvo S60 R. Given that both cars have over 300bhp and 4WD, I think the Falkens give exceptional life - I've never had less than 20,000 miles from a set and the best set lasted 24,300 miles. Wet weather grip is not compromised by such longevity and the directional nature of the tread ensures that standing water is dispersed quickly, with no aquaplaning. I would recommend these tyres highly.

I do 18k miles per year. My last tyres were Michelin Primacy. They were a bit pricy so I went for the 452's and I'm disappointed to note that at under 15k miles the fronts need replacing. I got 22k+ from the Micheins. Back to Michelin this time, as whilst the 452 is an OK tyre, and excellent for the money, in the long run well worth paying extra for the Michelin as I don't want to buy tyres every 11 months...!

Replaced my Uniroyal Rainsport 2 with a set of Falken F452. Bedded the tyres in and after that I drove as per normal. First thing I found out was that white lining is a bit of a problem. Secondly the wet weather grip is not all that I hoped. In the wet it is a bit like driving by the seat of your pants it gets a little twitchy this is at moderate speeds.
Would I buy another set, probably not. They are good value for money and may suit other vehicles better than the Porsche. The wear rate is good. These were bought after reading tyre reviews.
Next set I am thinking of some Vredestein Sessanta

Do seem to wear faster than Contis, but as they are nearly half the price and similar performance, no brainer!

Good points:-
New Grip is excelent.
Dry Grip is more than enough.
Wet Grip is very good and limits any aquaplanin
Very little road noise.
Great MPG.
Look Great
Cheep.
Not so Good points:-
Could do with more rim protection.
I cant comment on wear rate that much as i have used them for 2000 miles and still look new, Will def be buying again, value for money they are far better then their rivals and much more expensive tyres, without compromising on quality.
