    Does anyone have any opinions on Falken FK 452 tyres, or Falken tyres in
    general?

    Cheers

    tyres are a tricky one, everyone will have an opinion.
    i had falkens (not sure which type) on a astra gte and to be honest i
    thought they were pretty poor/

    since then i have steered clear, but after reading some positive
    reviews for the 452 i decided to take a chance and bought a full set
    for my zs 180, i have to say i have been impressed.
    in the dry they are full of feeling and when they do break away its
    always with lots of advance warning.
    in the wet is slightly different, although they feel secure and when
    the inevitable dozy driver pulls out in front of you they stop the car
    fuss free without causeing the abs to kick in. when your pressing on
    they tend to slide a bit, now all things in consideration the 180 is
    quite a heavy car and tends to give any front tyre a hard time when you
    press on.
    in comparison, they out-perform p-zeros in the wet and dry but only in
    the dry compared to dunlop sp9000.
