Input from Falken 452 riders

Made appointment tomorrow (Monday) to have some Falken 452’s put on my car. I was told that I could exchange them if I don’t like the tires with in a short time (3 days or 50 miles. What ever is less.) however it looks like its going to be raining for the next few days so I wont be able to test them out. What I was looking for was a tire that is as sticky or more sticky than the stock RE 070’s. I currently have toyo proxes 4’s on there and they suck.
Any experience with these Falken 452’s? let me know if you agree with the guys at the tire shop that these tires will stick.

They are great dry/rain tires. THe 070s are going to be better in the dry with stiffer sidewalls a superior grade rubber. THe 452s will be better in the rain. Neither are advised for snow/cold. They are great tires for the price!
