Falken choices, FK52 or Ziex ZE912?

[lard-ajc]

I need a new pair of tyres for my 1.9 diesel. The 452 and 912 seem to get decent reviews but i'm undecided which is best for me.

I like the idea of assymetrics as if there is any uneven wear between the tyres I can rotate them without having to get them off the rims, are there any other benefits of one over the other (especially wear)?

thanks

I think there is so little between them you'd be nit picking to find much difference. Most still seem to go for the 452's though

i have the 452s, so far theyve proved to be an awesome tyre for the money they have especially impressed me recently in all this insane weather we've been getting and hold grip very well on the water logged roads ive been driving on. Thumbs up from me!

452

452 are the sportier version of the 2. The 912's will be the harder wearing.
I've always used 452's, great even in the winter.

im sure that looks play a part in the 452 popularity.
as above, 452 are slightly more performance orientated.

I wanted the 452's but nobody could find them at a decent price up here. I got the 912's for 68 fully fitted in the end. Seem to be a good tyre so far......

Ive got the 912's. Good tyres for me, have had no bad experiences with them and seem to have a good wear rate.

452s i ran for 18 months..pretty good tbh, but the conti sport 3s i have now are in another league

just ordered some 452's from camskills £60 inc VAT each having them fitted thursday so hope they are ok! thought i would try as they get good feed back on here

 

[greesha]

maybe a stupid question but can anyone confirm for me that falken 452 - 225/55/16 will fit leon mk1 cupra standard alloys...


and another thing... I really need to change my front tyres (goodyears eagles lasted 5k ) but my rear tyres seem ok. I would like to put now 225 in front and leave my my rear ones (205 width) until they will need to be changed. I can imagine its not perfect to have different width tyres in front and in the back... but is it total madness or can i drive around like that for some time. Does it really make it dangerous to drive if i'm not doing trackdays?

I reckon I'm going to try the 452's next. I've got Goodyear F1 assmetrics on at the moment which are awsome but after only 8 months the front ones are just about shagged.

I have the 912's on at the moment, seen hardly no wear to be honest and I have been driving them alot. Decent set of tyres however I personally will be looking for something more stickier next time

Got the fk-452s and they're mint. so much better than the contisports that i had on before and 10 times better in the wet. they also seem to be wearin well, as i dont drive paticuarly slowly lol
