Falken 452 vs hankook v12

mia335i · 03-20-2012, 10:17 AM

In the market to buy tires for my new wheels. Would like someone o compare the two. I need a tire that stretches that's why I chose these two. Do they both stretch alike ? Which is a quieter tire ?

I've had Falken FK452 before and they stretch more than the Hankook, they are both quiet and great tires. Only difference is the price, Falkens are cheaper than the Hankooks. I choose Hankooks only because I'm on them right now and they feel great for the price.

Does the Falken stretch alot more or a lil bit more ?

Not dramatically more, but just little bit more than the Hankooks.

the hankooks ride better to me and are much better in the rain. i get more steering feedback out of the falkens. dry performance feels the same to me.

dont expect a ton, you can only get so much out of cheap tires but these are the only cheap tires i'd consider running

I have had the Hankook V12's for the last 20,000 miles and I will probably replace them with another set of V12's when this set finally wears outs. I like them that much.
