I have Falken 453's and if I had my time again I would go the KU39's. There is a guy who tracks his car and buys tyres pretty regularly. He recommends the KU39's over the falkens and his previous KU31's (which are noisy) tyres.

KU39s wear a lot quicker than the KU31's. Noisy tyres are irrelevant if you have a proper exhaust!!

Hey guys. Going to head out tomorrow to tempe and get some new tyres. My rears are down to the wire :rofl2::rofl2:

Is the falken 452's still all the hype like I see on most threads about VE tyres...

I have stock bridgestone re50a's on all fours. My fronts have heaps of life left, It's just my rears that need replacing. They went through 50,000kms so I'm happy with that. But they are way too expensive at $550 each (redline ute)

Its ethier the kumho k31s or the falken 452s

Tyre size is 245/40/19

Some replys would be good before tomorrow :)
Cheers guys

Get the Bridgestones. They saw you coming if they want 500 each.

Shop around. I have seen for less than 300 ea. Remember to get 98W not 94W. 94W is for sedan only.

Holmart has 94W BRIDGESTONE RE 050A POTENZA TYRES 245/40/19 (SOLD AS 1)

Anyone had 452s on rear in wagon in the wet?

I have had two sets of 452s on a VE sportswagon and now a set of 453s.

The are both brilliant tyres, wet and dry!
