Maybe someone with Falken Fk452's can chime in.

I took the stock wheels and tires off my Z about a month after getting the car, so I never really acquired a memory for the way Potenzas sound on the road. I took my aftermarket wheels w/ FK452's off last night and slapped the stockers back on so I can do some repairs. Holy crap, the Potenzas are loud! I feel like I'm in a helicopter. Especially during deceleration. Am I crazy?

well depends on how worn they are, they less tread left the louder the tire will be

Stock Potenzas are loud and they suck in cold weather. I have the FK 452's and they are nice and quiet.

How do you like your Fk452s in the winter? This is my first winter w/ those tires and we haven't gotten anything weather wise in MD. I was under the impression that FK452 are dry weather only.

The Bridgestones are loud.. even when new. My car is a lot quieter with the FK452s and that's with a slight drop and 20s.

I live in San Jose, California so, our winters do not have any snow. Just sunshine and rain. So, far in the rain they have been really good compared to my old Nitto NT-555 setup. I found a usefull website that has good info on the Falken FK452 that might help you. http://www.fk452.com/technicalinfo.html

Its pretty much because potenzas suck *****! I went from owning truck with pretty aggresive off road tread tires to the z with potenzas and have to say the truck was noticably quiter on the road.
