Falken FK-452's vs. Hankook Ventrus V12
Hey guys, getting new tires for my 19's and just wanted to see what you guys would recommend? I've narrowed it down to these two tires, but they both have great reviews on TR and around the web, so I'm just looking for some insight as to which tire you think would be a better buy.
F: 245/35/19
R: 255/35/19
I can get the Falken's for around 730 shipped, and the Hankooks for around 680 shipped (after the 60 dollar rebate).
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Hankooks are def best bang for buck...
I had 225/40/19 oem stock in front and I still had 8/32 left after 26k miles to my surprise!
However, time came to replace my bridgestones rears, I got some 255/40/19 and the car now rides like crap + loud as hell. My shocks are not blown by any meas, they have 63k miles sports suspension. Handling is pretty good, but I can't stand the ride and the loud noise...
You get what you pay for.... I won't go back...

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I've run moth the Falkens and Hankooks and there's no comparison, the Hankooks are a much better tire all around. I'd be running the Vredesteins if they had the ability to be swapped side to side which they don't due to tread design.

I ran the stock Michelin sports plus for a long time since I got my Coupe at 60k miles. I had great experience with the Ventus V12 in my 330xi bimmer, mad amount of grip, yet very quiet on highway driving, so I decided to put them on my G when it was time to change tires. Now two V12 are running at the rear and the Sports plus is still running at the fron with 32k miles on them, and getting way loud. So, I think more V12 is going on the car pretty soon.

I would stay away from hanook, I've only had my G35 coupe for a month it came with brand new hanook ventus v12 tires. My drivers side rear completely shredded off the the rim. Allstate adjuster came to look at my car today he agrees its shredded and not blown out. There is some minor body damage but not happy with these tires or the dealership i bought the car from
