Need 4 new tyres. Are these good for FWD cars?

The conti's on it are £200 a corner, these are only £118.....

Any other suggestions?

conti's are shit, you'll notice a huge improvement when you move away from them.

I have had them on my last 4 cars and there superb for the money. I'm running over well over 300lbft and they handle it very well.

I've got fk452s on the s2000.

Find them awesome in all weather conditions including snow.

But suppose different car's could react differently.

Nearly

I wonder if the 452's would cope with nearly double that 375lbs/ft figure in the spring?

The falkens are £60 a tyre cheaper which considering there just as good if not better is the winner for me.
