I boughtFalken FK 452 tyres along with the wheels on an auction - they were used by their previous owner. He assured that he has been using them for one season and they looked almost like new, except for one that got hit had quiate a large bulge on its sidewall as the fringe protector got damaged, so it had to be replaced. Their grip on wet and on dry is sensational. Previously I used a low-profile 16 inch Pirelli PZero Nero, it was softer and had slipped a bit on wet, and Falken FK 452 don't have such issue, and I drive a lot in rain. My assessment about comfort is not relevant because there not much of it on profile 30 :) I'm not complaining about noise level. A lot of people complain about the balancing - I put my Falkens on and nothing happens. When it comes to their wear-off, I've been using them only for one season and they are still far from their wear index. They look fine but visually I preferred Pirellis. When it comes to rolling resistance, I changed from 205/16 to 235/20 and fuel consumption increased, but it's because of the wheel size, not only the tyre. I'll try to add more assessments after I replace my faulty tyre.

I had few tyre sets before and I have to say that the Falken FK 452s are the only tyres I had which almost don't slide in the rain at all, the tyre has virtually unlimited grip to the surface. I observed slight wear-off of outside tread elements, but it's certainly a result of driving in the ruts. I think Falken FK 452 is the tyre of the year, I haven't found a bettger tyre to use, they are definitely better than the Goodyear Excellences, Dunlop SP Sport 2020s, Hankook Ventus, Yokohama C Drives.

The Falken FK 452 combined with a quattro drive equals brilliant grip. Aftert changing from P6000s I have the impression the car is "glued" to the road. A little loud but they compansate it with grip. I recommend.

The Falken FK 452s are superb tyres for dry and wet surfaces, they feathered a bit fast but it was my fault (very fast bends on motorways). Although I did 25000 miles on them, the wear-off is not so bad. Now I want to purchase 265/40R17 ones for rear and then I will be able to assess their wear-off on the drive axle :)
