i wanted to buy some falken 452 and i found this site
http://www.vulcantire.com/cgi-bin/ti...&f=fk452_t.htm

the falken 452 is much cheaper than discount tires, is that site legit.. do you guys have any experiences with them?

Never used them so I can't tell you how legit they are, but, it is perfectly reasonable to assume an online store will have a lesser price than a brick and mortar store...

When comparison shopping prices, you should keep in mind cost to mount and balance, which is many times discounted when purchasing the tires at the local shop. Also keep in mind any type of maintenance services offered such as flat repairs and rotations / balances... last but not least, Discount Tire gives a pro-rated road hazard warranty on every tire they sell - this is pretty exclusive to them, so they will take care of you if you have a problem after the sale whether you buy their additional free replacement warranty or not...

If you will have stretch and camber I would stay away from the FK452.

Mitsuguy and fatmike both make good points, something to consider. If you've decided on the 452's and don't care about the benefits mentioned of a brick and mortar, I've bought from vulcantire a few times and have always gotten very quick shipping and absolutely no problems.
