Brand?

decided to try the 452's. They should be delivered tomorrow and I'll put them on next weekend. The fronts were relatively cheap considering what I paid for Toyo and Michelin in the past but the rears are about the same price.

245/35-19
275/35-19

i recently put on a set of fk 452's and i'm not disappointed...price was the big motivating factor for me, but i will say they have been quiet and the tread looks to be holding up rather well

iv had both Toyo t1r's and Falken FK452s and i like the Falkens better...

the toyos have weak sidewalls, wear fast, and are very loud... they are good in the rain tho

Do you have a coupe? I think on the sedan, widest tire in the front is 245, but I could be wrong. Would have thought the max. size for the front of a coupe are 245 too?

ive got a coupe with aftermarket wheels... 9.5 front 10.5 rear

currently i run ps2 in 255/35/19 and 275/35/19

i love the ps2's but they are so expensive!!! looks like ill give the falkens a shot next. t1-r seems to be a bit mushy and noisy for my tastes. re050 is too harsh and contisport contact 3 doesnt come in the sizes i want

I cant say for Falkin, but Im currently on Toyo's after running SO3's. 245x19 and 275x19. The performance seems to be the same. I am just hoping they last longer. That road noise is NASTY.

I don't get it...I have T1-R's and I've never found them to be noisy?...

I have 37K miles on my T1-R's and will most likely have to replace them at around 45K....

Yup...about 85% highway driving. I've heard of a guy with Nitto 555's who put 50K on his before needing replacement. Still on the fence if I should stay w/ the Toyo's or give the 452's a shot.
