I had 452s on my Black Detroits (you really should have bought them you know Martin
).
I got them because they were a) well priced and I don't do much mileage so can't justify £150 a tyre from Michelin and b) one of the guys on Cupranet I know really rates them for grip and he does his fair share of trackdays so won't fit rubbish.
They are a bit slippy for a couple of hundred miles as the rubber has a sheen from the moulding when new but once it has been worn off they're a pretty decent tyre. Mind you I don't drive like a banshee on the roads anyway (not very often at least).
So all in all my review would state that they are round and black and I didn't fall off the road when I had them on the car.
Sidewall wise they won't have much protection so beware of kerbs when you're cruisin' past da laydeez on your way to my pole dancing extravaganza........
