I had falken 452's and couldn't be happier with them, I've also had Toyo proxys, Pilot sports, and Dunlop Direzza's over the last few years, no complaints on the 452s..

I'm not doing anything crazy with mine though and they are not large sizes, just factory sizes for my gs400 17" rims..

i used to have these on both my monarchs (non-stretched) and eurolines (stretched). they're wonderful tires if you don't stretch them, but they will bubble up if you do. Just gotta be careful with the bad roads.

Hankooks are one notch higher than Falkens in the price range.

I have had mine for 38k miles and have had a great experience with them. The surprising thing about them is it has been raining in LA for a few days and despite having really low tread depth I have not been experiencing any hydroplaning and never have with these tires.
I had the S Drive. Sticky with the road. Really Nice.
I also had the 452, but not long. I guess it is a bit cheaper depending on the size.

Default Pirelli

these tires appear to be asymetrical and cannot be flipped.

I've ran a couple of sets of these already and I noticed they wear extremely fast! Switched over to General Exclaim UHP and they last much longer.

Damnit! I should have done my home work before buying these then..... oh well. Let's wait and see!

I did notice that the sidewalls on these tires are much rounder than my previous Yokohamas! Maybe that's why they wear out on negative camber!
