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.

I bought the Falken FK452 trusting in Japanese quality. I was right to some extent. The tyre grips well on dry asphalt and it's awesome on wet, drains water greatly and you have to do a lot to get aquaplaning on these ones. But the tyres had some problems with balancing, and after about 4000 miles the wheels started to vibrate. With tyres out of the question I replaced my brake discs, pads, upper and lower levers, bolts and I checked my alloys in order to verify that they are not crooked. After half a year of struggle and renofating the car the traction balancer showed that, unfortunately,Falken FK 452 are no longer usable. I have to mention that the problems occured on the way back from the seaside and not on the city streets. If it wasn't for that they have to be used carefully, and they cause trouble (and they qare only two years old), Falken FK 452s would be very good tyres.

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 :)

The main advantage of these tyres is their behaviour on wet. There is practically no difference, no matter if you drive on dry or on wet. The largest drawback is the excessive noise level (I even wondered if my bearings are not down!), the same situation occurred with its precedessor, the FK 451. These tyres are noisier than many winter ones. When it comes to their wear-off, so far I've driven too small distance to assess this aspect, but I believe there is nothing for free, either you get good grip or long life span. Overall, Falken FK 452 is a very good tyre for a decent price if you don't mind the noise.
