Toyo T1R VS Falken FK452

#47
I switched to a set of 452s after I changed rims. Previously I had T1Ss. The 452s are lightyears beyond the T1Ss but that's what you'd expect.
The 452s are exceptionally quiet and handle great. The new tread compound is supposed to wear much better than the previous compounds, but only time will tell. Overall I'm very happy with them so far.

The problem with the Falken's is that they don't come in 255/35/19, which I'd like to use on my front wheels.

What size tire and wheel?

20x8.5 20x10.5
245/35/20 fits perfect
275/35/20 tire is cut small. the lip of the wheel hangs out on each side .. i rec. 285 in the rear.. it is weird cause i had the exact sizes in the toyo and it fit perfect . but the falkens are not cut the same

Thanks IVRY. How does the tire weight compare? Like is it close to OEM?
I'm noticing that the 245/40/19 Falken 452s I have in the front seem to make the car less agile in steering feel and off the line acceleration vs the stock tires I had on there before...
Maybe I should post my story...Ive gone through 3 kinds of tires in 3 weeks and I'm still having issues
I just got back from Just Tires just a few mins ago and the 96.00 wheel alignment still hasn't fixed my car drifting to the right when I let go of the steering wheel. That's another story in itself

Glad I found this poll...though it is old & not much new info in here. I'm currently a happy T1-R owner and am contemplating the 452's for my next tire setup. Just found on www.1010tires.com that there are reviews given/ratings for each category (wear, dry handling, wet handling, noise, etc) and these 2 tires are very similar. I was SHOCKED that the 452's were much cheaper than the T1-R's in my size (245/40/19).
Here's the review/prices:

Onlinetires.com sells these 452's for even cheaper ($157)...damn, not bad....considering the crappy 17" OEM Turanza's are a little less than that, no?

i've ran T1R when i first got the TE-37TA and my only complaint was its noise....as noisy as General Exclaim UHP which i've used on my previous BMW...before purchasing a new set of tires, i drove my buddy's car and he was running on FK-452...much lesser noise and had great feeling....
handling wise....both have similar characteristics: handles well on both wet and dry conditions....but my buddy was able to struggle through the snow and his car was sitting on 19s, like mine....i didnt have the ***** lol! so i cannot give any input on T1R's snow performance lol
but from what i saw, my T1R had beefier sidewalls while his FK-452 had thinner but more rounded sidewalls...imo, FK-452 is great for VIP & fender-rubbing lovers while T1R suits the more conservative drivers...
these tires actually cater to different class of drivers so you just gotta know your personal preference before buying a new set of tires...
just fyi, in the end, i went with BF Goodrich T/A KDW lol!!!
hope this helps
