Default Falken GR BETA FK-451B

I'm getting four of these tires, size is 275/40/17. Did I make the right choice for daily driver/ weekend strip? Can't beat Todd's price at discount tire direct.
560.00 shipped. Let me know your experiences they don't any surveys about the tire so I depend on you guys.
Thanks
Mike Allen

I have those mounted on my 18" Zoh rims. They have EXCELLENT wet weather traction. Good all-around for daily driving. Dry traction is good, but i still have problems getting the tires to plant until i'm almost out of first a little into 2nd, from a dig on the street. It's like you can feel the tires slipping a little, fighting for that traction. Ive never run them at the track, so i cant help you there. I'm sure they'd do better than stock Goodyears, but who knows?

Overall for the price and quality, i like them. However i wont be buying them again. I have a second car finally and have no use for a all-around tire anymore. Bfg's or Nitto's next time.

I'm going from 16in wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3, 245/50/16. Hard to compare to this tire.
