Well I'm running FK452s on both scoobs and have for years with no issues - snow, rain nothing has caused an issue.

The replacement FK453s have had decent write ups. For the money I don't think much can beat them!

[wrx kenny]

Aah Davey you only use 20 hp off your 400 though ?

[davey l wrx]

24 actually

[wrx kenny]

Very good ?

[davey l wrx]

Well one has to try!

[scoobywho]

The fk452 is still available most places that use micheldever as there is a large stock around

[g1983]

They have been replaced by 453, but should still be about. Try camskill

ma bro is running falken 912 and am running the newer version 914 and r good in the wet and great in the dry I can`t falt them for £389 balanced and fitted

hmmm, 452s have been pretty awful on my car and I have had little confidence in them in damp or wet conditions. My car ran better on Toyo T1Rs. All depends on suspension set up, roads, power and driving style i suppose.

[mugs]

i'm open to abuse on this one......

when my wheels arrived they were shod with fullrun tyres (18").

I was planning on waiting a month or 2 then replace them with something decent.

for the 1st 1k miles or so they were awful in the dry and worse in the wet but then I noticed they were starting to grip well. I have now had them for 15 months and they are very sticky. I have done a hillclimb day on them, used them in the snow and they are great. if you can scrub them in in a short period of time then they are good tyres but I think they use way too much mould release on them so at first they are pants. they are certainly better than some of the Michelins I have used in the past.

You seen my 452's today. I say pilot sports if funds dictate.

[johnmacdonald]

Nobody ever mentions Pirelli! My Hawk PPP has been running on P-Zero Nero 225x40ZR18s since 2007 (on my third set) and I can't fault them in wet or dry. Fairly soft compound which means they need replacing at around 12,000.

Falken 225x45ZR18 452s fitted on my Accord 2.4 ivtec have proved to be perfect for that car...

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym,great in the dry or the wet.

I tried to get the F1 Assys but was told they do not come in my size!! lol

Did have an interesting conversation with a tyre supplier about the differences between asymetric and directional tyres and he has persuaded me!! I get a good price on some new tyres tomorrow.

[MarkJHarris]

Most happy to stick to my RE070 Bridgestones. I run Pirelli Soto Zero 2 Winter tyres too.

[monsterenergy]

Michelin Pilot Sport 3's for me

[sti and]

I went for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym tyres Kenny & so far really impressed with them.

Just recently bought my 2.5 and it has new contis on the front and new car pirelli on the back.just wondered if thats a problem as I know most tyres have differing angles on the side walls.my dub pals like the falkens as the sidewall tucks in which equals more lowering powers

On a high performance all wheel drive car, I have always thought that all four tyres should be the same make and spec...

sell the 4 and fund michelins, as JJ says keep them the same.

I was thinking more on the difference in size?.even though they are all 225 40s
