Falken 452s vs Nitto NT 555

Wicked_SVT · 04-09-2009, 06:17 PM

Go with NITTO INVO's. I put these tires on my VMR 715 rims. 265 30 R19 in the rear and they look good. The wet and dry grip is excellent and there is little to no road noise.

I've had Fk 452 and they handle just as well, if not better than NT555 but they sure are much quieter. Good luck with your purchase.

So Nitto INVO much better than Nitto NT555? I need good thread and quiet for my commuter.

invo's > 452's > 555's

that seems to be the general consensus here

I finally got my new wheels and I'm going to get them mounted tomorrow.

haha cool. I was thinking about going with invo's but I'm tight on budget. BTW we got the same wheels! barely anyone has these wheels on this website.

I've been contemplating between Falken 452s and Yokohama S drives. They seem to have similar tread design. They are also similar in price also.

Yes, if you're looking for a quiet/comfortable tire for your daily driver, then go with the Invo. Search for it on this forum and read up on the reviews.

452s for sure

Mars Bictor · 04-28-2009, 06:33 PM

I just got the 452's today and it's been great so far, but we'll see what happens after some mileage.

I have falken 452's. I love the tire. Its a sticky tire so its hard to lose traction but you sacrafice some tread wear. I have 235(8.5 front) and 275(9.5 rear) no rubbing, no fender rolling.
