FK-452 or Evo V12???
Time to order tires for my new wheels that will be coming the end of this month. I am very torn between the two, not sure which to get. I have personally had the 452's on my last set of iForgeds and couldn't be happier with them besides the noise level. They are grippy, responsive, precise, stiffer sidewall and gives a much nicer stretch look . On the other hand I have been hearing great things about the V12's besides the softer sidewall and soft rubber. My wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x10 and I'm going to run 225/35 and 265/30. I know Falken is a more narrow tire, how about Hankook? I am looking to get more clearance for my fender as well. Is Hankook a bigger tire than Falken? Any insight or chime ins would be fabulous.

The 452's and V12's are both my choices when I want to stretch tires.
452----->
Pro........They are the better choice when stretching. The sidewall doesn't sag and hold true for the life of the tire.
Con.......Noise and cupping once the tread starts to get toward the end of its life.
V12's ---->
Pro....... Quiet and they are great in the wet.
Cons..... They don't seem to handle as good as the 452 even tho the are rated higher. When strstched the sidewall will sag after @ 5000 miles. Not a big deal but I tend to like sharp/tight angle on the sidewall.
I have V12s on my CE28's right now and like them.
I also have INVO's on my WEDsports and LOVE them.
The only "Con" of the Invo is cold traction issues. The Invo wins over both the 452 and V12 IMO.......
