Default Falken 452
I recently bought falken 452 tires for my car without knowing anything since the dealer only has this one available. Any feedback on these tires, good or bad?

Thanks.

From a performance stand point they are heads and tails above anything OE. But as w/most performance tires the wear is liable to be pretty bad (<20k miles.)

BTW: I was running the ZE-512's (All Season's) on my 3 for a while and except for the waer issue, really like them!
Suggestion though: If performance/handling is what your after more than ride, try pumping up the 452's to 38F/31R. It'll turn better by helping to reduce the push (understeer) caused by the FWD.
