Default Falken Tires?

Anybody used there tires before or known of anybody that has, how do they hold up, wear and tear wise....

I am planning on getting a set in a couple of weeks to go from 255's to 275x4

Cant really find any comparison charts on them on tirerack.com or anything

TIA!

I've got 2 of the now discontinued FK-451's in 275 on the rear. Work very well in the summer but when it gets cold they are no good. They say high performance summer and the mean it. They seem to wearing good though 18,000K and still have about half thread life left. Bought the new style FK -452's for the front in 275's. They are redesigned and are supposed to be better. Won't know for sure untill I rotate them to the rear in a few thousand miles. For the price they are O.K. Bought mine from Discount Tires for about $130 each.

I had them on the front the FL415's and they were nice, but wore very fast. I went back to Kuhmo's and im happier for longer then i was with them.

here is my take on them i have the gr-beta something ones in the falkens when i first put them on in the summer and stepped on it they hooked amazing i felt they were better then my bfg gforce ones i had previous, then fall hit and the coldness started to come and they are the worst tire they didnt grip worth sh@t i mean i tried gripping, even the slightest little getting on it they would spin. i would say they are an awesome summer tire but when cold hits no way i will prolly go back to my bfg since they were awesome in cold weather and hot .

Thanks everybody for there input, I am able to get a % from a friend I work with so I am like schweetttt so we will see how this plays out, but since I have slight tear on my left front tire where air leaks out every 3-4 days and requires some air. I am hoping to move on this in the next 3wks.
