So what tyres is everyone on now? #832114

I've currently got falken FK-452's on the front (and something horrible on the rear).

Might be getting some new tyres if I manage to snag some new wheels though so wondering if FK-452's are still my best option or if something else should be catching me eye?

I am very happy with My Fk-452's

I will stick with them until something better comes out for the same money.

Dunlop SP Sportmaxx (215/40 - 17). Really good compromise.

Will probably try Falken FK-452 next time. They are cheaper and apparently very good too. wink

Conti Sport 2s on the fr, Toyo T1-R ( new ) on the rear.

Undecided what will replace the Conti's later this year, but most likely go with Toyo to match all 4 up.

On my second set of Dunlop SP Sportmaxx - really like them and they wear well

I'm finding that the choice for 15's is really limited, hoped to use F1s but not available in my size.
Any recommends as I think I'll end up with Contis otherwise,
Currently running on Goodyear rears and Jupiter (cough, cough not my fitment!!) fronts.


If all else fails read the instructions

Just thought I would update this to say that I recently put Falken FK452 on the front and am very impressed with them both in the wet and dry.

452 for me too. Easily as good as the GP F1s and I doubt they will bulge on the tyre walls so easily.

well i have had a few sets of f1's and found them great tyres however when they are half worn i find they seem to lose their grip quite a bit imo,the shoulders because of the tread design always seem to look bald too when they have plenty of life left, maybe its me !

had some new 452's fitted for a few weeks now and so far pretty pleased with them and not noticed any massive differences between the two,not bad price for £61 each fitted either
