Just made the switch to Falken GRB 451S. Anyone looking to replace tires soon should consider these!

Default Just made the switch to Falken GRB 451S. Anyone looking to replace tires soon should consider these!

I switched from Yoko Es100's to the Falken's and now realize how lame the Yoko's were... the Falken's are quiet on the freeway and absorb bumps alot better (not as stiff on the sidewall i think) Overall the car drives like a luxury car on the freeway and still manages to outperform the Yoko's when pushed to the limit. No to mention the Falken's have nice rim protection, in other words they reach over the lip of My 18x8 OZ SL's. Just thought i'd share plus I hadn't posted in a while

Default got em through Big O Tires... paid $620 for the set....

Could have got them for cheaper on Tirerack but it was sort of an emergency and Big O could get them in overnight... one of the yoko's had cracked on the sidewall :O and another had a slow leak and had already been patched once, and with only about 3-5k left on them anyhow, i was in a rush to get new ones. I would definately recommend these over S03's the treadwear on them is 280 which i know is better and im pretty sure they're quieter.
