My local trye garage only sells ZE912's, at £75 each. This seemed pretty reasonable to me, but is there a big difference between the ZE912 and the FK452's?

Falken 452,s all the way,

 

I have used then for 4 years now, no probs, even good in the wet.

Really.....i have just purchased back my z after 15 months of it being in another members hands and noticed i have the FK452 on the rear not Toyo Proxies which i have always used, and i must say i cannot stop lighting up the tyres:no: now i am not a person who does this for show and when it happens makes me feel like idiot.

 

With the Toyos i could jump out of a junction quickly and have no probs....so imo i think Toyos for me at least are a better tyre.

No Personal experience of the ZE912, but it is an All weather tyre with a lower wear rating than the fk452, which means its a harder compound.

 

The FK452 is a performance summer tyre.

 

In theory then it wont have as much ultimate dry grip as the Fk452, but will last longer and should be better in wet weather.

 

There are a lot of Professional Tyre reviews and comparisons on the net, there may be one for ZE912 somewhere.

ADAC have tested the ZE912, found it was rubbish.

used falkens 452 and didnt rate them at all in the dry, mate bought them off me and had same problems cud be bad batch or something else wrong but for me they were lethal.

Ryan, I got my 452's from just up the road from you. Alan at AST. is that the place you tried?

I tried ALS tyres Warfield mate - they took my tyres off for free and seem pretty reasonable so i was wanting to give them business, but they cant get hold of 452's.

 

Where abouts is AST? Binfield?

My bad, it was ALS Doh!! It was only last November but they did have to order the rears in. Shame they can't get them, like you say they are good chaps. And reasonably priced too. If you do use them ask for Alan the owner and tell him 'Banger' said that they'd do you a good price. :ph34r:

Nice one mate will do! Ive always spoken to matey with the tattoos up his arms and he's always gone out his way to help!

 

Think they probably just dont have them in my size - measly 17's :(
