Default Falken 452 Tire Question

Guy locally has a pair of 275/40/18 Falken 452 tires up for $250

brand new with stickers still.


Are these tires any good. Never had any experience with them. But the price is outstanding, and I am tired of my 235/50/18 KDWs tires.


I plan on purchasing a set of 245/40/18 for the front to keep the same overall diameter front and rear(26.6" overall)

I've got them on my car and like them. They grab ok right now while cold but 1st gear is totally useless if I get on it. I don't know how they'll hold up in the warm weather with my 302 stroker yet so I can't really give you an opinion on that. They are great in the rain!

Thx Nuke...I've been reading reviews, but haven't seen any Mustang reviews. Most people seem to have AWD vehicles from what I've read

went and bought them tonight. just way too good a deal to pass up. $250 for 2 brand new 275/40/zr18 tires with the stickers still on them is awesome. I was looking at $250+ for just 1 tire at the stores.
btw, these things are wide. I have 275/55/20 on my Expy, and these feel like they are wider. might do a little comparison in the daylight and see what I get

now to get them mounted up. Have to work 24 hours tomorrow , so hopefully get it done Friday
