Need some new tyres for the megane, 225 40 18s. Haven't got much money to play with as had an expensive month, i've narrowed it down to these two, seen good reviews on the falkens but had kumhos before and they were good but not this model

I cant tell any difference from going from Goodyear Eagle F1's to Falken FK452's and their nearly half the price

Seem pretty good so far but the wear on them would probably depend on the car and the way its driven tbh.

I've had falkens on my last 4 cars both 452's and 912's and there both superb for the money. The 912's are a bit cheaper mind you. The grip in the dry is superb but it's in the wet IMO there brilliant which surprised me as it's a performance budget tyre. My mate went from the highly worshipped good year f1's to the falkens and he swears there better.

for my tyre size it's like a pound difference between the 452's and the 912's so don't know which to choose
