Dry grip is very impressive for what is supposed to be a 'budget' tyre. Good feedback, and very nicely progressive on the limit. Even in the MR2 with 325bhp, the car is very controllable at the limit, as experienced on a couple of track days.
In the wet again, the tyre performs extremely well, giving far better grip than the ZZ3's they replaced - they move water very well, and I've never had any unexpected breakaway in the wet, even driving relatively quickly.
Despite two track days and plenty of country road hoonage, the tyres have lasted really well - still plenty of tread left on them after over a year.
All in all, I have been amazed with this tyre, and wouldn't even consider anything different when it comes to replace them (ok, it may have to be the FK452's as the 451's are discontinued I believe).

Can not praise the FALKEN GRB-451-MADE IN JAPAN! tyres enough-some might call it
a budget tyre think again!
Quiet-grainy feel grip-smooth a silk drive-fantastic wear rate in relation to
positive grip traction.Very safe for peace of mind excellent anti aqua plane and feels safe with 300bhp odd.
Top marks...5*****

Used on a couple of trackdays.
Slightly less grip than R888s previously but not that much wear, 2mm maybe, where the R888s only lasted 2 days !
feedback's good & nice & progressive.
Recommended.
Not used in wet yet but have deep trad so should be ok.

Very good road & occasional track tyre.
Superb in the wet - had all the majors before - Toyo, F1s and these are the best. dry grip as good as F1s
Not the cheapest, wear is reasonable for a soft tyre.

The Toyo T1R's look great and perform very well giving lots of confidence when driving. Dry grip is excellent and you can just push the car hard into the corners without any problem at all. Wet grip also seems very good although can start to slip slightly if you overdo it.
I have found the Toyo's to be very quiet on the road and despite being a soft compound they have lasted very well. 12k miles on the rear of a 240bhp RWD car is quite impressive. The fronts still have loads of tread left.
Would certainly buy these again!

Driving a mr2 turbo means the tyre quality needs to be good!! I bought the kumho's after checking out falkens and toyo's. I have been really impressed with the quality and feel the tyres give me they are supurb in the dry and for the money very good in the wet, you know when your on the limit and they will take some punishment.

I can't really fault these. I've had these on my track mr2 turbo and have driven around 911s on trackday rubber! Bit hairy in the wet but that's probably because I can't get enough heat into them with my cambers.
Worn surprisingly well considering the abuse I give them too. Well happy.
