LCR Tyres... Falken FK-452...

[the_italian]

as good as eagle's are, and i used them for years, i'v had a few other types of tyres the last few tyre changes and been impressed with them all, falkens being one of then

lot of good tyres out there, and with mytyres.co.uk delivering to your door for free, you can't complain!

Tyre good in both wet and the dry

i'm having new r32 alloys fitted next week and i think i'll upgrade to these from the kumhos that come with them, although i've had kumho ecsta supras on my car for over a year now and for 65 quid fitted at skidz they we're pretty good value, just fancy a wee change.

 

[olaf]

Oh the options............................

Not sure what to wrap the new alloys in when I get them now.

i think robdon hit the nail on the head...

The FK-452's punch well above their weight, a very good tyre that is better than many premium tyres and alot cheaper too!
Forget Mytyres, get them from Camskill - £62.80 each including delivery for 225/40ZR18's! (£251.20 for 4 delivered)

Have bean humming and harring about these tyres. my tyres are dead and is fun in the wet as you never know what will happen!!!
Will get these on my car as soon as i get back fron the usa in august. atleast i can save a few £££ fitting them myself

great , sounds like you got a bargain.

well done.

 

[UncleFester]

Had these on the back for 4 weeks or so now and they've not let go on me yet. Got mine from Camskill too, definitely a good price and way better than the F1 or the Toyos ... given i only got 3500 miles from the Toys I can't see the FK-452 being any worse and they're cheaper!

 

[Wrighty]

ordered a pair for the front of mine last thursday afternooon from camskill and they were on my doorstep 8.30 friday morning. had them fitted in the afternoon and have to say the car drives better than with the F1's on.

 

[Cupraloon]

Got my FK452's this morning, having them fitted tomorrow arvo, they certainly look like a good tyre, they seem huge tho' soft compound aswell by the look of it, can't wait to see what their like in the wet..

How do you get on with fitting as i have been told most tyre places wont fit tyre not supplied by them.

got a bloody puncture on saturday... I could hear a stone (or so I thought) stuck in the tread, so I stopped to pull it out and it was a screw stuck in my drivers tyre!

I guessed it could be plugged so I went straight to the tyre place I got them from, knowing it normally costs about £10 to plug a tyre.

sure enough they plugged it for me, but bob said no charge for me!

so not all bad!

Tyres 205/55x 16 cost me £50.80 each from mytyres, delivered.


Getting a local mobile guy to do it, costing £11.00 per wheel, so all in it's cost me £123.60 for 2 tyres, not too bad me thinks, as long as they live up to the hype, i'm a happy man


going to need a couple on the front in a few months, so i'll see if he can do a comparable price.

sure is!

the guy who did it said its normally £10 but he said go speak to the owner as I always do, and he said not to worry about it!

 

[jamie paton]

thats me ordered these for my alloys on saturday, only £12.50 dearer per tyre than the kumho's. hope they are good

 

[Cupraloon]

I'd had the 452's on the back for a couple of days now seem very good so far, back end feels a lot more plated than it did before.

I'm so impressed I've just ordered a couple for the front, to replace the rapidly shrinking Couriers, which were on the car when I got it and which are dreadful in the wet. and which seem to have more in common with a non stick pan than anything else..

So a result all round i feel.......

 

[pete8tch]

been out for a paddle with the falkens on today.
really pleased with em , good grip in the wet and really smooth on the the motorway, reccomend em for the money.

If anyone in the Glasgow area are looking for these I got 4 fitted at Auto Image in Great Western rd for £310. I know there are better prices posted but thats fitted so saves any hassle getting tyres delivered and trying to get a fitter.

He's usually the best price I can find for tyres and have used him for many years.
