I'm about to get a set of Falken FK453's for the IS200; I had FK452's on before and they were excellent, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone has any better ideas before I push the button?

Camskill can get a pair of 225/40/R18's to me for £153.58, so if anyone can beat that, I'd be thrilled.

Edit: And if anyone says Maxxis, don't bother because I think they are genuinely horrendous. Got some on the front at the moment and they are terrible.

Excellent. I was very happy with the 452's, but they don't seem to last long after 10,000 miles.

Tyres arrived, fitting tomorrow. Will report back with opinions. If they are anything like the FK452's, I'm expecting good things. I'll stick my Maxxis tyres on the back and use the Falkens at the front. The maxxis ones are horrendous, so hopefully my front end grip will be better with the falkens; I don't mind a bit of oversteer.
