i had the 451s and wasnt very satisfied, not much grip but i shouldnt have expected much from an all season. my friend has the es100s on his car and the sidewalls arent that stiff and they wear out very fast.

i have the 452's...IMO its a much better tire than the 451 and is one of the better Falken tires, overall its a good tire for the money...as for the es100 I always see wear problems with them, I dont know if its due to the car/driver, but I always see problems with those tires.

i've narrowed my search down to these two tires and the Toyo T1r as well. Anyone else have experiences to share on these? I'm currently running RS2, and they're great wet/dry.. thanks.

sorry, don't mean to hijack, just thought i'd keep the topic condensed into one thread for future search users.

you should look into getting tires that are comparable to the OEM ones.

Someone put crummy tires on your car before you got it, and you're look at putting more crummy tires on it.......
