I'm not overly happy with the runflats that came on the car so am seriously considering ditching them and getting some Falken 453's as they seem to be a replacement for the popular 452's......
Thus far I haven't found any of the mobile tyre fitters who stock these which wouldn't normally be a problem bar the fact the RFT's on the car have 5mm on all round so want to keep them and sell on but won't be able to fit 4 in the car to drive them home.
Has anyone come across a mobile outfit that has these in stock yet ?

Re: Falken 453's Mobile Fitting
I can't find them for sale online anywhere other than oponeo - and they don't have the right 18" sizes. Where have you found them ? Not ound a mobile outfit either, obviously....

Why don't you order them in yourself then get a mobile to do fit only?

Re: Falken 453's Mobile Fitting
TBH, I think opinion on these two brands is equally split across the forum from what i have seen, they are both good. I was heading the Vred way, but don't need to do anything yet. Lots have 452s, I guess the only issue is the 453s are new and 'untested'...uuf361 wrote:Are these a better tyre then?Bing wrote:Only £10 cheaper than a set of Vredstein Sessanta from tyremen.com...

I do like the Vredstein tread pattern though
