I need to replace all 4 tyres with the std sizes T350
Looking at reviews the toyo's suffer from tramlining as do the F1's
Sessanta tyres get good reviews but fronts are higher (40)
Falken FK-452 cover both sizes anyone fitted those there also cheaper good thing bad thing?
BTW My fronts are mixed toyo/f1 and rears nearly bold toyo i suffer from tramliming too.
Thanks for any help.

I used Falkens on my old Chim and loved them, don't be led into thinking they're cr4p just because they're cheap! Many Chim & Cerb owners swear by them and I'll be swapping to them when my current ones need replacing.
Alternatively the new Eagle F1 asymetrics are supposed to be way better than the old F1 directionals.

I had the Falkens on my Skyline and they were excellent.

Had the Falkens fitted a few weeks ago on the SP12s - a little slippery in wet hairpin turns smile . No complaints otherwise wink .

Falkens are looking favourable
Set of 4 camskill £339.60 not fitted.
Blimey that's cheap say £40 fitting charge on top.

The Falken FK-452's have some great write ups. Also have a look at the Kumho KU31's. Apparently now being fitted to AMG mercs and Ultimas as the recommended tyre! About the same price and a very under-rated tyre.

This may help your decision:
