Title: Falken 452's Vs 912's
Post by: tunnie on 27 August 2011, 18:40:18
Had 452's fitted to the rear & 912's to the front (both 16's) rears not lasted as well I would have hoped. As part of my service this weekend, noticed the 452's are borderline legal.

Only got 31k out of them  :(

Got 37k out of the 912's, still not as good as my old Goodyear Eagle Ventura's, 48k and they were on the car when I got it!  ;D

Those would have had Kumo 31's fitted, how has your wear rate been?

Throttle does have more than one setting, not just ON or OFF  ;D

Gentleman's danglies.  The Sport Maxx seem to have worn quite dramatically as well.  Fiddlesticks.

Tunnie theres no excuse for your behavior. Your legs are long enough to fully press the throttle while sitting in the back seat.
