Well if there good enough for the arse end on my LC I'm sure your find them just right for ya Mig. I've used them on lots of my cars and find them very good value for money with good wet and dry grip. Yes there are better tyres out there but unless your looning around all the time there just fine

ps look here cheapest place for Falken tyres

I've had Falken FK452's on mine for some time and can't fault them. Just had 2 new FK452 235/40/17's fitted on the front at Wheels In Motion for £85 each incuding fitting and VAT. They are a slightly softer compound so are quite grippy but wear slightly quicker than some brands.
