Where are you getting the info that Falken tires are sub par performance compared to the stockers. I'd like to read that test and review, even if it is from a "lowly magazine-test".

7th place out of the top 9 isn't bad at all considering we are talking the top 9 of how many hundred?

Where does it list the Falken 452s as not a performance tire? Are you saying that tires that stop 4 feet quicker are worth 2x the price at half the tread life for daily driving duties?
