Anybody fitted these :
Falken 452 235/40/18
Comments please
Not a lot of choice here .
Could get Dunlop direzza dz101 but from what I read they are not that great.
the 235/40/18 is very popular here & is the best size to get a good price on .

No feedback so guess i'll be the guinea pig . Had them fitted today.
Instantly obvious to me now why people trash the OE Bridgestones . I don't have to fight the wheel now to keep the car tracking over rough road .
Will update once I've had a chance to throw it around a bit.

I'm thinking about getting the Falken Fk452 (http://www.edgeracing.com/tire/2628/) tire too.... after 25,000 miles the original tires are pretty much done!
The performance of the original tires is fine with me, but the noise bothers me a lot. There are a few (newly paved) roads around here where the tires are really quiet, and I really like hearing the engine for a change!
In other words, a tire with the same performance as the original, but a little more quiet would do great for me!
What do you think of the Falkens so far?

Cornering is pretty similar but stability in a straight line & under braking is vastly improved .
Could have been a wheel alignment issue on the old tyre however as they were very worn on the inside :dunno:
Noise - better but not exactly quiet.
