Tires in the Bay Area
I went to 5 places today looking for Yokohama S. Drives; Wheel Works, Pep Boys, BigOTires, Sears and Walmart either nobody carries them or have it locally or they have to order them. Does anyone know any local places in the East Bay area that have these in stock? 245/35/19. I was offered some Falken 452 and Potenza RE760 sport, anyone got any experience with those? Thanks in advance!
RE 760s are nice. IMO, better than Yokohamas.
They aren't quite as good as RE050s, but they still offer very good performance, more comfort, and a much improved tread life with a much lower cost. And the great thing about the RE760 is that performance and comfort doesn't deteriorate as the tread wears out, like how most Yokohamas and especially Falkens do.

That's what I did. It's quicker than you'd expect.
I wasn't very impressed with the 452s on my Trans Am.
They were a soft ride (not exactly the highest priority on my list at the time) but the grip wasn't fantastic.
I like my Hankooks better, and they're close to the same price

youll like your FK452. Since you are not racing it doesn't really matter to be honest.
^Plus, you have the added bonus that if any thing ever goes wrong, you can go back to the tire place, slam your hand down on the counter, and go:
"HEY! THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE FALKEN TIRES!"

Americas tire is the place to get tires. Price match and always has lowest price in town. Plus the extended warranty is awesome. For any non repairable injuries ( Blow outs, nail in shoulder, impact break , hole in sidewalk. Covers any road hazard damage done to tire besides vandilaziam, it's a free tire for you!
