Default Are these tires good?

Im looking at buying an 18" wheel and tire package and these are the tires they come with. Are these comparible to my BFG KDWS I have now? I love the tires I have now! They stick soo good.

Size:
Front Size: 18x8.5
Rear Size: 18x9.5
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Front Lip Size: 2-3/4"
Rear Lip Size: 3-1/2
Front Offset: +35
Rear Offset: +35
Color: Chrome Wheel
• (2) 245/40/18 Falken 452
• (2) 275/40/18 Falken 452
• (1) Mounting and Balancing INCLUDED!!!!!
• (1) Mounting Hardware Kit

"Falken’s newest UHP tire is the most well rounded tire on the market . The Falken FK452 is the FK451’s replacement and it is better in every performance category. This tire is better on wet and dry traction, better comfort, better steering feel, better all around. The Falken 452 also offers a better tredware from the Falkens 451 (280 treadware) to the Falken 452’s (300 treadware.)

The Falken 452 compared to others competitors: Toyo Proxes T1R: Very similar to the FK452 in every aspect. Choosing between these two comes down to sizing availability and brand preference in most cases. The Toyo T1R’s have a lower tredware therefore, you will go through them faster, but offers better handling.

Pirelli Pzero Rosso: Both similar in performance, I suggest the FK452 in most cases due to newer technology and much better value for your dollar considering the Pirelli is usually double in price.
Hankook Ventus K104 and KUMHO KU-31: These two tires are somewhat similar to the FK452 in the performance category. However the Hankook Ventus K104 and Kumho KU-31 sometimes are a better value in most sizes price wise, but the Falken FK452 edges the K104 and KU-31 in driving refinement, and quality. "

Additional Details:
Load Rating 97
Traction AA
Temperature A
Performance ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE
Tread Depth 10
Section Width 9.5
Tread Width 8.3
Rim Protector Yes
Max PSI 50
RPM 807
Sidewall Type BW
Thanks,
Alex
