Nitto 555's or Falken 452s?

svg95gt · 02-19-2013, 10:39 AM

Like the title says I'm trying to decide between the 2. I ran Nittos on my mustang and was very happy with them. What do you guys think?

Im running 452's right now, i bought the car with them on so at least i didn't have to pay for them. My only complaint it they are noisy and directional so you wont be able to rotate them but they have good grip. my buddy just bought hankook v12's for his m3 and he loves them. If i wouldn't have gotten a smoking deal on some bridgestone rft's i would have went with the v12's. good luck

I'm running the FK452 right now and it's a so-so tire. Grip and whatnot are fairly standard, but they are noisy tires after you start driving on them. Since they are directional you are able to flip them side to side to maximize the life of them, if you are running some negative camber.

I ran Hankook Ventus V12s before and I liked them much more. The only issue I had with that particular tire was that they had really soft sidewalls.

Nitto. I wouldn't buy Falken unless I was stretching

I had 19" Nitto NT555s on my mustang and they preformed well and looked pretty cool too

Falken 722. better than the 452.

Thanks guys! I think I'll just stick to the Nitto.
I ran Falkens on a Mazdaspeed6 I had and hated them. Road noise after about 1k mi was terrible, anything but warm dry pavement was terrible. But that was a few years ago, they weren't 452's and I see alot of 452's on here.

Is it worth the extra $$ for the Invo over the NT555?
