Looking for new tires, anyone have any info on Falken FK452 or Handkook Ventus K104? They both seem to be good

I have them on my o1, they ride nice but I don't like the traction.

Bucwheat, I see there are a few Toyo Proxes you can choose from. What ones did you put on?

Replaced the run flats with Bridgestone Pole Position. Much better steering response with low noise and smoother ride. For what it's worth...

I bought my 99" FRC vette with 451's and was content with it's every day performance (good tread wear), and when I purchased 452's (also good tread wear) I did track days with them I realized that in comparison they are limited in that venue. If I ever did buy Falken's again I would try the Azenis RT-615 if you are looking for a really good dual purpose tire in a reasonable price range. Merry Christmas, Darryl (2FAS4UU)

also running toyo proxes, great traction, not good with the cold but great in the summer time. (try not to drive in rain/snow)

I know a handful of guys running the Falkons with great success.
