Message	Just read Falken's description: "Falken's new FK series line of Luxury Sports tires is clearly the new benchmark for JDM and European Luxury tuners." Umm, "luxury"? WTF would you want "luxury" tires on a sports car? Sounds like Falken is just trying to market the FK452 to the DUB, VIP scene and big chrome wheel crowd with what is supposed to be a "replacement" for the FK451. Either way, I wouldn't touch these tires. T1R or Azenis shouldn't even be used in the same sentence with this Falken junk. I was happy with my FK451s. They were a great street tire while they lasted, but since they're now pushing the FK452 as a "luxury" tire, I probably won't be buying Falken tires for a while. -Brad 1992 cow car 1999 girl car 1996 stock car 1986 parts car ________________________ *It's just a car. **Function > Form. ***Don't tell someone else what to do with THEIR car.
