Which Falkens did you go for Mupps? I'm considering FK452's when I need new tyres to replace the Bridgestones.
We all have a photographic memory, just some don't take the lens cap off!

AndyBass and Muppet
Are you still happy with your Falken FK-452.
I need four new tyres and these seem best.
Thanks

I recently put falken fk-452's all around on my Z.
Got mine from Black circle tyres online and used a discount code from here :
www.vouchercodes.com and got a % off.
Cant fault them so far, road noise good, handling & wet weather is very balanced and good alround. I fully expect there to be better options but at what cost. if your budget wont allow higher rated tyres then go for the falkens.
Next time I will probably go for the toyo proxies as I had them on my old volvo and they were cracking tyres. Just to see what they are like on the Z.

I have had fk 452's all round for last year and a half, Definately recommend them. I used the Falcon web site and found local garage to fit no probs. Good tyre at a decent price.

FK452's are brilliant tyres for the money. In fact even if they cost £120 per corner they'd still be brilliant. I've been recommending them for ages.

Just had four 452 tyres put on but forgot to ask the fitter what the pressures should be.
Any ideas please. If it matters it is a 1997 2.8.
Thanks
