Falken FK 452 - User reviews

A Japanese brand once again proves that it produces items at a decent level. When someone is not convinced about buying these tyres I can definitely recommend it. The Falken FK 452 is a very neat and very quiet tyre. I recommend.

I did about 8 thousand miles on these tyres. Traction on dry surface is great and the same goes for wet surface. Generally speaking, I didn't see any difference between driving on dry and wet. Abrasion of the tyres is also good - after about 8 thousand miles the tread has just started to wear off. They don't make a lot of noise, but their driving comfort and shock absorbing properties could be better. When it comes to behaviour on snow and ice, I gave them high marks because I didn't want to lower their overall note. I recommend these tyres because they have a great look and superb performance, and the price is much lower than top class brands. By the way, when compared with Dunlop SP Sportmaxx and Bridgestone Potenza, Falken FK 452 gets first place, because its performance isn't much different from Dunlop's, and is much cheaper.

I chose to buy Falken FK 452s after reading numerous reviews. The tyre is fairly comfortable, provides good grip on wet and dry. Could be more silent but it's not bad. It can be heard only on "rough" asphalt. It looks nice nice but the fringe protector could be a little bit more solid. To sum up, these Falkens are sensational tyres in this price range.

For me, the Falken FK 452 is a very good tyre. It's much cheaper premium-class tyres and I think it has comparable parameters. The tread looks good, and that's one of the reasons why I recommend it. A ne wone looks really great and has a lot of tread so I think it will last for a few seasons.

Due to the fact that the tire has been repeatedly assessed, I will focus on two aspects: [255/35 ZR19; 272 hp; quattro] 1) wet grip is poor. For normal driving, a slightly higher profile, sure enough. The loss of traction during dynamic driving occurs abruptly and without prior communication. Extremely sensitive to dust / dirt mixed with water in the early stages of precipitation. 2) Depth Edge protects the rim and is symbolic for the specified above absolute size too small! For 6 years driving cars with wheels 17 and 18 inches NEVER happened to me even scratch the rims, not to mention the major abrasions. With these tires "managed" I scratch / wipe all 4 and it twice (after the winter wheels were sandblasted and powder coated - now look like before blasting) ...

Tires cool in terms of adhesion and appearance but the fact that they started strongly jag and make noise after 10.000 km me to them very discouraged. Certainly I'd not bought. Judge after 3 seasons and although still tread quietly on 1-2 seasons are changing to another because they can not be longer ride in the noise and the damage he promised to be good. Wyzabkowaly on both axes, despite correct settings of the suspension. Driven around 30k km.

The tyres are generally good, they're quite soft and elastic and so their wear-off is not so low, either. It's better to avoid rough concrete edges :-), They provide good driving comfort, they're quiet and have good grip. Overall, the Falken FK 452 is a "good quality for a good price" tyre. And it has exemplary appearance :-)

I drive a 4WD car and these tyres are really good, even when driving aggressively they grip well in the corners .Of course, these tyres are not for very demanding fans of tuned Golfs...
