I'm sponsored by Falken LOL
452's are a GREAT tire to run, but I wish they woulda kept the 451 and the 115. I'm still running on the ST115 tires, great tire too, had them for about 2 years now and still got good life in the tread. I'm going to the 452's next.

I'm very unbias when it comes to tires. My attention was drawn to them through a friend of mine who got me sponsored. When they had the 115's, I had a few doubts, how could a tire at the price they charged be able to do what they claim? So their best way to shut my mouth was give me a set for my daily driver. Be advised that I use to have the ZE512 which was notorious for bad road noise feedback, lasted a very long time, but the noise made driving a nuisance, yes I said it LOL...
But honestly, they incorporated the tecnology from both the 115 and the 451, both great tires. I tried the 451 when they still had them and I loved the wet traction grip, I compared them to the commonly bought Toyo Proxies at that time and the 451 proved to me that Toyo was over rated.
The 452 gives you the best of both worlds as much as they could. They did a great job, But I guess you'll have to try them yourself to really find out if you like them. Personally, I would go with the Bridgestone RE-01R, but the price of one of those would get you 2 452's plus mounting and balancing. So yeah... All you on what tire you would like to invest the money into testing.

Nitto Neogen? They're decent, but I never got to play with them in the wet weather, but I've heard mixed reviews on them for wet traction, dry is another story.
There is a knock off version of a Bridgestone tire (cant remember the model) made by Achiles, dirt cheap and it has a 400A tread wear rating, but remember the saying, you get what you pay for.

not the neogen, the nt 555s. he said they do awesome in straitline dry. cornering and wet traction suffered when he went to them. a buddy of mine has neogens on his civic. he said they howl but i think its these ebay mirrors he put on. the only plus i heard about them really was that they stand up well when cambered. they look good though. i like an aggressive looking tire
