Title: Found some cheap tyres.
Post by: sixpot on January 09, 2011, 08:15:52 pm

I've been running Falken FK452 for a while now, and for the money they are a superb tyre. I was sick of paying out for conti Sport contacts every 10-12000 miles at £130/ corner.
I've just found some replacement FK 452's (225 40 18 92Y) for £61.50 each delivered! never heard of the company before, (clickontyres.com) but it all seems above board and the site is also secure.  :happy2:

I got 2 x FK452's for £120 delivered from Camskill a couple of weeks ago.

I had already had 2 of them fitted in July, so knew the type of tyre they were, in fairness they are very decent for the money.

They have shot up in price now from Camskill since the VAT rise. £69.60 + delivery.

I have to say the 452's have been surprisely gash on my vRS, less than 6k for both fronts, and the rears definately won't see the better side of 10K.  Just had the fronts replaced with a pair of Hankook Ventura V12 based on recommendations, supplied and fitted for 210 quid through Blackcircles, fingers crossed they last a bit longer.  :happy2:
