Charlie ....... we meet again

When I had my S I ran the Falken 451 on my Volk wheels and loved them . When I sold the wheels to Thomas he continued to use the same tire as he loved them also . I have always been a die hard Falken Tire fan . I also ran the 451 on my Yellow civic . The 452 is the replacement for the 451 .

The Miata also runs a Falken Tire but in the form of the RT615 ... And if Bill is wondering these are the tires I was running when I auto-x'd against you guys at the Nor'easter

Sorry , but after 10 years of Falken support they have never left me stranded or failed on me , I would never spend the money for Bridgestones , Dunlops ..... etc . If I was going to spend the money , it would be a exotic tire like the Advans .... but other than that I will always run Falkens on my car ...

Hey, thanks, Scott!!! I can only say that the 452 looked like a good tire, but I have no background with Falken. Yours is a strong endorsement. Thanks.

Are these things Chinese-made? Do you know where they come from? One thing is I've never gotten a low-quality product from Bridgestone, so I've bought many of their products... But, hey, I'm willing to try new things.

I've been running Falken 452's on mine since August. If you're looking for a street tire, they're great. If you're looking for excellent traction on the track, they'll work, but the 615's are better (and what I'm going with next time).

They don't make Falkens in the right size for AP1 stock wheels.

I'll check the sizes, Bill. I should've mentioned this, but I intend to put these on my 17" aftermarkets, not my stocker 16s. My stockers are relegated to winter tire duty.
