I really hate when a manufacturer discontinues a great product. The FK-451 was a great tire, well suited for the daily needs of a Z32 driver, dry traction, light autoX, some wet, treadwear... all in the above average category, which is high praise for an all-round performance tire.
The 452 is an OK tire, it works but is not outstanding, and has become pricey.
Based on daily driving, I much preferred the 451. Looking into the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs... hoping they will be a 451 replacement.
PS Also ran the RT-615's, great on dry pavement but very expensive with high treadwear and not what you want in the rain.

I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07
