Falken Tire Corp. is excited to announce the release of the brand new FK452 tire line. An evolution in the next generation of tires, the FK452 is the tire of choice for automotive enthusiasts interested in the latest tire technology. With an intricate balance of compounds and a rigid construction, the FK452 produces superb handling and traction without compromising ride comfort.



Tires will be produced in 16- to 22-inch applications. Visual appeal was an important factor during the design phase for the FK452. Tread design and profile options were chosen to help provide vehicles with an aggressive stance and performance to back it up. For more information, go to http://www.falkentire.com.

Cool stuff!

On a side note, I don't think Falken has updated their site... in like forever... They still have RT-215's on it...

Looks good, be interesting to see how they stand up vs. the competition price and performance wise in that tire class.

Why was the visual appeal important? All tires look the same. All that matters is how it performs. I guess they just want to appeal to aesthetic-concerned customers....

How else do you think that trashcan of a tire the 712 has lasted this long. Thats 100% "ZOMG, those tires look EXTREMEME!!111! they must be fast."

So they actually engineer the tread to look fast? I thought they just mentioned it in the article so you'd think it looked cool.
