Falken FK452 Tyres cheap

[VTSS350]

I am up for a new set of tyres on my VE and came across these on ebay

FALKEN 245/35R20 96Y FK452 (245-35-20 Inch Tyre) - 2453520 **PREMIUM RANGE** | eBay

I have had these tyres before but always from a decent tyre outlet.

Has anyone used this seller or know why they are so cheap?

It's only 1 tyre, that's why.

They no longer make the 452, and no one buys one tyre at a time, so he's flogging it cheap.

No, I emailed him and he said he had quite a few of them. But if they are no longer making the 452 then that might be why.

yep, 452 is deleted to make room for the 453, which by the sounds of things from a member in another thread, isn't as good, particularly in wet weather. 453 also has a decent price hike, putting it at a similar price to Pzeros and PS3s when they're on sale - pretty much always on sale somewhere.

damn. I Liked the 452. What would be a good replacement?

NITTO INVO. These have had very good reviews and so far are well(sensibly) priced in OZ.

See here: Invo

The cheap crappy brands of tyres are widely distributed everywhere but you will find that only a few dealers carry the Nittos so far. If you are in Sydney, Taleb Tyres and Ozzy tyres carry them (and a few others). In Melbourne Stuckey tyres carry them.
