i thought about it but its not worth the money IMO. no first hand experience, just from researching and asking around.

I am running tires very similar, Cooper 2XS, very similar tread pattern and construction. I really like them. I run them between 35 and 36 psi. They have very good stick. I would not use them on the track, and they are not all-seasons. But I did tip toe through and ice and snow storm in Upstate New York and they handled very well in those conditions. Much better then the S-02's, which I loved, but found them too limiting for me because I use my car all year round.

I have FK452's on my car. Look at the tire roll. Good DD tires but definitely not track tires IMO

Definetly not track tires at all... good street tires though for the price.

ive had 5 sets of these tires

225.35.19
^^^1 set
245/30.20: 285/30.20
^ 3 sets of above
245/30.22: 285/25.22
^^1 set

and they are quiet, BUT they are not good quality... the 19" set delaminated and falken wouldnt do anything about it.. eventho the tires were 4 days old.

the 22" set was PERFECT

the 20" sets are ok.. but they ride horrible.. also they wear weird..

i would reccomend BFG kdw2 as sticky tires.. even better falken 615
