    I've run them two seasons, and 452's before that. I've been impressed with them in a 285. I had hankook v12's before that, and I'd say they are very similar in warm dry/wet weather.
    The only "issue" I've noticed, is that when temps get cold, like below 30, they are very easy to break loose. I didn't notice this near as badly on the hankooks, the rubber must be a bit harder.
    Road noise isn't noticeable either.

    I'll have to check, but I'm well over that now. I'll check the paper work on the last ones.

    If they are anything like the 452's then they are right on par with the shitty RS-A's. Can't say anything on the 453's since my experience with the 452's were not enjoyable, one bit.

    My thing is I drive around 40k miles a year and I don't want to get some pos tire that's going to last 10k miles. I know you get a lemon sometimes I've had that happen with tires when i bought some for the Tahoe everyone was talking about how they where getting 35k miles out of a set i got maybe 15.

    If you doing that kind of miles per year, you are on the hiway a lot. The positive about the 453 over the 452 is they have a little more tire past the wheel for protection. Tire performance and tread wear ratings separate quickly. the greater the performance, the greater the wear. I liked the performance of the 452's on my G8.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!
