I've now got 452's all round. They are excellent in both wet and dry - lot cheaper than other brands and recommended.

Falkens are great, better grip and wear than the OEM fitment, the only negative is they are noisy. I will stick with OEM on the GTS and run Kumhos on the GT and they are great too.

Is anybody running on the Pirelli PZero Corse, Mine has the Rosso on currently and although they seem OK, I wonder if anybody has the Corse experience. I have the Assymetrico's on my XJR and they are brilliant.

This was the news as it was sent by our national Falken distributor, including a picture of the profile, wich looks a lot like the Sportcontact3 from Conti.
The SUV variant is less important for us of course, but still interesting enough to read i think.

These Falkens look to be "W" rated, which is on, or below the speed of our vehicles. I would prefer to have a "Y" rated tyre to be more confident on high speed performance.

I would always go over the top on tyre rating, either "Y", or (Y), up to 186mph and over 186mph, I feel much safer this way when pushing a tyre hard, a blow out at 170mph using such as a "W" rating would be curtains for some.
