Interesting I replaced PZero Asymmetricos on my S-Type Jag with Falken 452s, the Falkens were head & shoulders better 95% of the time.

The 5% was when it was below 5 Deg or so or in Snow, although I never drove it on Pirellis in the snow.

I went Toyo's all round on my S4 and loved them. Like Grahame says, quiet and grip in wet and dry conditions. Didn't wear much either. :D

Hi All :)

Falkens seem to vary between makes of cars ...

Although I have never heard of anyone with a Porsche not happy with them...

I love mine, and have used them in all sizes from 16s to my current huge 18s...

452s are fantastic in the dry and good (not fantastic) in the wet...

I do tend to get through several sets of rears a year, but that down to my Nitrous lol ...

All the best Brett :)
