Can't comment on Hankooks. I had Falken ZE912s on my car when I bought it and I was distinctly unimpressed with grip levels. Have just changed over to 452s now and much happier.... they seem every bit as good as the P Zeros that I usually use on my other car

I had Hankook Ventus tyres on a previous car. Very good.

However, given that Falken 452s are a forum favourite, why not stick with them? Tyre fitters will usually make a recommendation depending on their margins

Mmm very true thought I'd see what peoples thoughts were, thank you for your replies!

I had Hankooks on my Clio 172, can't remember the exact tyre now as it was some years ago. I hated them, put me off ever owning another set - rock solid compound offering very little traction.

I have Falkens on my current Z4 (also had them on my Focus ST) - and I love them. Every bit as good as far more expensive tyres, in my opinion of course.

Can't comment on the Hankooks, but have had F452's on my car for 2 months now...

...it's like I sold my car and bought a new one, it's THAT different.

Have heard only good things re the Vreds, but I decided to go for the Falkens as more places seem to stock them - in case of a tyre issue, I could get a replacement fairly easily.

Good phrase I've heard with Falken F452's vs Vredestaein Ultrac Sessantas is:

Falkens are a top end mid-range tyre.
Vreds are a bottom end top-range tyre.

(PS - F912's are must softer for saloon type cars, 452's are firmer and more for sportier cars. Guy in shop said he tends to fit the 912s to focusses, astras etc)

Forthed!

Just ordered 235/35/19s and 265/30/19s for my OEM CSLs less than £710! Bargain!

CSLs will be on on Saturday! Cant wait!

I would have the Falkens out of the two. But would have vreds over both.

Again guys thank you for all your opinions it is insightful!

What the quietest tyre? I find mine to produce quite alot of road noise.
