Replace my Conti DWS rear's with Falken Falken FK-452, 275/35/18 - Good Tires?

Yesterday I replaced my Continental DWS rears with Falken FK-452. I went with 275/35/18 as I have the stock OEM wheels.

I got a great price on these for $172 each (before tax/mounting/balancing) and they seem like they'll be great tires, high performance summer, etc, and when searching the internet overall they're well rated.

But more specifically to us E55'ers, do any of you have them and do you like them? I've only had them on for 12 hours and have driven maybe 10 miles so I could take them back for something better if I made a mistake.

I wanted something a bit stickier but with stll good treadware life (their rated at 300) and the price was right.

Thanks for the advice as always!

I've had those tires before and they were very decent.

Thanks guys. Their rated up to 186 MPH and are high performance summer. I was going to go with 285 width, but didn't want to push the boundries of my 9 inch rim.

Might have to do another 0-160-0 MPH blast! (Maybe 0-100 which is a bit safer I think)

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback/input as always.
