Question Just had 4 Falken 452's fitted

I8'' 225's @£65 each fitted.Now that can't be bad can it?

general consensus of opinion appears to be that they ain't half bad

anyone got any experience of them.I have to admit to never even considering them before untill I read a thread on the Lancer Register

I had some fitted..... for a total of 14 days. Compared to say the PS2s i have on now you can see why they are only £65. You get what you pay for!

Paul, if your style of driving doesn't warrant a top quality tyre... does your driving style warrant an Impreza

Falkens are poor in the wet.

Prada Spec2 blow them out the water in wet weather driving - and can be bought for almost the same price.

I though the Falkens were good in the wet. Maybe they just suit some driving styles more than others??

I have to disagree completely with Mr Man on this one. I have the 452s on my track wheels and parada 2s as my day to day ones. The paradas don't cope at all well with the heat generated by a track day but are great for dry normal driving. The Falkens are excellent in the wet, pretty damn good in the dry and cope well with 200 miles of Snetterton at full blast. When the paradas wear out I shall probably go 432 for both.

I had the Falkens 452 fitted to a previous car (E36 325i Coupe) they seemed a really good tyre all round, I realise for more money there is much better but for the price they seemed a good buy
