Sorry, these are the ones I'm on about

I used the 452`s on my 350z without any problems at all, they were really good value vs grip. But i did hear that Falken had replaced them now with the 453`s? In which case that might explain why the 452`s are out of stock?

453s aren't meant to be as good as the 452s, though I've not personally sampled them. Have you tried other websites to see their stock? Blackcirlces, mytyre, etyre etc.

This is also a good first stop shop to buying tyres you've not had before: LINK

I had 452's all round on the P1 and loved them for 400 quid.

Have had 452's on #002, which is my first experience of these particular tyres (the Vee came with them when I purchased it in Aug 2011). For dry running on the road they are quite good, and good value for money too.

Another thumbs up for 452s here :approve:

They're quite popular in TVR circles so are no doubt a capable tyre for the money

 

[Matt]

Got them on my fronts and really good tyres. :approve:

 

[Alpineandy]

Have you checked tyre trader, etyres or mytyres?

I don't rate them. Had 452 many moons ago...2nd worst tyre i've had (Avon ZV3 being the worst)

If you want better low-mid range tyre than the TOYO would be my suggestion.

 

[PhilRV6]

I dont rate them either. Im on conti sport contact 3s. Best tyre i've ever used.

 

[Ali]

Conti Sport 3's are an excellent choice.

R888's for me!

I've heard the R888s can get interesting when the road temperature is low!

 

[Lankan]

Don't think you want to be on the R888's when it is wet (or damp).

Or cold, or before they're up to temp! [smilie=icon_eek.gif]

Unbeatable within their operating margins though.

Exactly the point - only good for warm/hot days if you drive hard, but bordering on marginal at all other times.
IMO not suitable for cars on UK roads when coupled with the British weather.............

Perfect tyres for a set of summer wheels that can be popped on once you've stuck your head out the window and checked the forecast. Too much of a faff for me!

 

[taylor.v6]

Ordered some Falken ZE914's for the rear, some good reviews online

R888's should be the ideal tyre for most then!! Seeing as most of you's only drive your vee's in dry weather! They also work perfectly at low temps, I've raced with them on down to 1 or 2 deg!
