i prefer neither, the best tire i have ever had on my z are my Yokohama S-drives. There not crazy expensive and they react and perform amazing in all climates. Especially rain i had a set of nitto nt555 when they first came out and i was honestly scared to death to drive in the rain cause theres only like 1 water channel the s-drives have 4 huge channels. tread wear is unlike any other tire i have owned. im running 275/30R20 i think.

452s are great when new, but after 10k they were slick, 10k later bald.

I don't believe its rated properly, I noticed my rears lasted about 12K and the fronts still have 5/32 left at 16K. Not sure what could cause such a high difference in wear but if you run square I think a couple of rotations will get you decent life for a 300 treadwear tire. Otherwise expect the rear to be gone after about 10-15K. However I think Falken is getting ready for a replacement, FK 453. I'm finding it tough to get two new rears right now and a couple of the shops told me the same rumor.

I have had a winner like that (Bridgstone AS Potenza) but don't know if I'd do it again.
