Need Some Help On Tires.
#4
when i 'talk tire' with HDPE guys the general consensus seems to be that Falken 452 is very much a commuting oriented street tire similar to the Kumho 712 or Kumho SPT.

I haven't personally used the Falken 452 but I've used Kumho 712 and I think you have used RT615 in the past you will be extremely disappointed with the 452/Kumho 712 type tire

there will be very little grip. on the up side, they have a 300 treadwear rating and so will last forever

personally, i would ride on the wear bars and wait fo the RT615s or go with bridgestone RE01Rs... or if a low performance tire like falken 452 is acceptable to you, try kumho MX. they have good grip (much better than falken 452/kumho 712 but less than RT615) are not heat sensitive, and have an 'in between' sidewall that isn't RT615 stiff but isn't 452/kumho 712 soft either

bottom line... commuter car.. 452 are fine.. HPDE/autoX car.. wait to get real tires
