Falken FK451's

does anybody know anything about Falken FK 451's? the wheels that i am buying have almost brand new FK 451's and i am trying to decide whether or not to buy them. tire rack does not sell falken tires so i have not been able to find a review on them. Kal Tire lists them as an ultra high performance tire but offers no reviews or comparisons. any of you guys have these on your cars or know of a place i could get some reviews?

Anything By Falken is probably a pretty good Tire and fairly grippy. I dont know anything about the actual FK 451s but i know they also make azeniz (sp?) and they are ammoung the best street tires you can buy in many people's opinions that I know.

My Bet would be that they are pretty good tires.

Best tires ever imo, BF-Goodrich Ta-Kd's. They might be a bit expensive but they have awesome reviews and are reallly reallllly good.
