    i've seen them recommended on here - a quick search will tell you.

    I remember reading they were phased out; replaced by 453s over a year ago & people were having troube getting 452s. You really seen some available?

    google 'tyre reviews' and you can read peoples opions on any make of tyre.

    i've used 452's(not on a skyline tho) and they are ok, i think for not a lot more money a Toyo T1R is a better bet.

    I have used 451's, then 452's over the last 6 years.

    Love them, not so great in the wet mind, but are progressive on the limit and don't just kill you.

    I've only used 453's on a skyline, but have used 452's on my Clio but since it's quite a small car, couldn't really tell if they are that good, but the 453's is quite
    good IMHO.

    i liked 452s they do stick to the road well but the car would chew through a set in no time i'm now running eagle f1s and the same set on the rears for over a year i know its about £30-40 difference in price but well worth it

    I had 451's and currently have a full set of 452's and if 453's are out I will probably have a set of them next Click here to enlarge

    I'd be interested in how you get on with them. They look a decent tyre.
    I'm using Bridgestone RE50A's at the mo and for £115/each fitted, they are good value for the performance they give.
    I think the wear rate is going to be quite high though Click here to enlarge
