Falken Tires
I need to replace the rubber on my S2000 and can get a decent price on Falken FK452s. Anyone have any good or bad experience with these tires?

For the price of falkens i would go with nankangs. The falkens lasted me a summer with mostly highway driving because of the really soft tread.

Mine have lasted okay, but the fronts have feathered a bit. Could be my alignment, though.

My fronts feathered and my rears were completely gone, and one side of the rear tires wore more than the other with a camber kit and Tires23 just shrugged their shoulders.

Not a huge fan of the 452's I think there are other options in that price range.

I have had my falkens since '07 and have not had any issues, have them on for roughly 5 months a year.

I have had them before and I would never buy another set. There are better options for the price or a little more.

I ran the Falken FK452's for the last four seasons and decided to go with the Hankook Ventus V12's. Like the Hankooks way better.

Are you looking for a dedicated performance tire Shane?
If so check out Star specs, Yoko AD08 or Nittto NT05

I just bought NT05s this spring & love them.

Yep, dedicated performance tire is all I'm interested in Ian........without spending a fortune of course.

Where did you end up purchasing your Nittos?

Bought them local from Steelcase in Markham, but that was a special one off deal.

Tirerack doesn't carry them but IIRC places like 1010tires does.
