Falken FK451 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear , have anyone use Falkne before? I got a deal for $599 for 4 tires. Not sure if it is good deal and never try Falkne before,

any comment will be great!!!

 

Its FALKEN, not Falkne.

 

They have alot of tread. I'm not sure what the tread wear rating is but they appear to last well over 30,000miles. I'm currently running 245/40/19 on mine but I'll be switching over to another brand when they are worn down. They are softer in feel than the BS RE050's though, but quieter and they don't feel like plastic in wet conditions the RE050.

 

I have them, they've been replaced by the 452's. They are decent tires with good treadlife, good dry/wet handling, although your tire size choices are very poor, the 275/30/19 rear is almost an inch shorter than stock

 

I've got them on my 240sx. Pretty good grip wet/dry. They are lasting a while as well. I thought these tires were discontinued like redlude says

 

I've had a couple sets of the 452's and been very happy with them.

 

I just installed a set of 19" coupe rims on my 07 Sedan that has these tires. I am not sure if my impressions are more related to moving from 18" Sport rims to the 19" coupe rims.

These are new tires, but as has been mentioned, the 451 is replaced by 452. One of my rear tires was warrantied with a 452.

I find the FK451 to be much softer than the oem RE050. Noise seems elevated but that could be a balancing issue. I am going to switch in my stock tpms, so we will see if the noise is less after remount. It is possible there is noise from the 452 being of a different tread pattern, but Falken's tech info indicates that it is ok to mix 451/452 as long as the 452 is in the rear.

Handling is good, but I haven't found out where the break away point is yet. The RE050 were more predictable in that regard. It could be that the new tires have too much tread on them.
