can anyone comment on the performance of the falken FK-451?

tire wear, traction, noise, etc.

Thanks

 

grip and handling are great. I'm just running them in the rear for now 285/30/20. I can't comment on the noise because I'm still running some worn down SO3's on the front that sound like 4x4 nobbies.'

 

these tires are good for the money. good wet and dry traction.
my only complaint its road noise.

 

great, thanks guys!!

anyone else?

 

i gots them also and they are great for the money. good traction and seem to wear pretty well. like others have said there is a definate increase in road noise. not too hateful but noticeable.

 

They do have some noise . . .but it is much quieter than stock feathered tires.

I am on my second set of rears, first set lasted 23K hard miles fronts still have about 50% left. So it looks like I will get 1 set of fronts for every 2 sets of rears, which is normal for this kind of setup. FYI, my stock RE040 only lasted 15K miles

Very Very good wet driving tire. Great dry grip.

I would have never bought these tires except they were already on the wheels when I bought them and were brand new and free. I have been impressed, but I still think I am gonna go back to kuhmo when the fronts and rears are done this time. I did not want to break the set this time around.

 

Ive been running mine for about 12,000 with no unusual signs of wear, and great handling! They are not the quietest tires in the world but not terribly loud either. Falken makes great tires for the $$

 

The falken ST-115 are super quite and decent grip, I'm running 20s I think you should go with the ST-115 since you have 20s also, ride is 10 times better than the stock 18s.
