Default Falken 452??

Anyone try these yet? Looking for a daily driver tire that still grips well but can handle a little rain. I'm also condsidering the Nitto NT 555's. My last two sets have been the Kuhmo MX's, which I like alot but thought I would try something else for a change.

Thanks,
Mat

I'm running them here in Central Florida where we get qiute a bit of rain in the summer. I've had the Nitto 555's in the past and these have much better traction in the rain in my opinion. They also wear better and cost a lot less. My car is a DD and i got over 40,000 miles on their precursor the 451's. I'm hoping these last as long.

They were on car when I bought it last June. I've only logged about 3k and I'm no racer but they work fine for me.

I have them on my vette now awesome street tire and very quiet. They are sticky enough to cut 1.8 60's which is good for a steet tire in my opinion
