Falken FK 452s are very quiet tyres for a decent price. After 10 000 miles they don't have any negative symptoms. Resistant to curbs and deep holes, I ran over some pits but thankfully they didn't do any harm to my wheels. They're quite hard and the suspension is less comfortable now, but it's because of the load index. They're sensational when driving fast on the road.

I didn't do a great distance on Falken FK 452 to assess them eventually but this can be treated as a pre-assessment. The tyres did about 2400 miles to Italy and back - on the motorway they are doing great - less rolling resistance than on my previous Michelin Pilots and Uniroyal RainSports. In the city Falken FK 452 also are not bad - especially on bumpy roads - I am "lucky" to drive on such roads very often :) - well, advantages of 18" wheels and condition of the paths... because they can't be called roads. Great grip in fast bends, but, of course, it's possible to overdo, the rear at some point starts to swerve strongly, on Michelins I could sense their limits better (and the price limit, too ;) - for the benefit of Falken, of course). Anyway, they're great in dry, they also do well on wet. I heard they wear off quickly (that's why I gave a 5) - as for now, I don't see that because of a small distance driven but somehow I don't see any chance for replacing them after 20 thousand miles ;). What really surprised me is the fact they are quiet - it's their great advantage. They may be a little noisy during the last phase of braking, but it's bearable noise. it's not that important, but they look nice. I hope I'll be able to write the same thing afterr 20 thousand miles. Of course, I'll try to post an update.

These Falken FK 452s are simply amazing! I've never had such a good tyre. They behave well on both dry and wet surfaces. Discharge water perfectly. It looks great fitted to the car. The only drawback is that its wear-off is relatively fast but anyway the next tyres I'll gewt will also be Falken FK 452s.

Previously I had Falkens ZE 512 and they were doing well, but I prefer to have separate tyre sets for summer and for winter, that's why I decided to change the tyre type only, and Falken FK 452s proved this choice was right. Great tyres for a decent price. I think that after doing a larger mileage they'll still be doing great.
