anyone running the falken FK-451 for the street? if so, how do you like 'em?

i'm thinking 225/50 x 16 on 8" for the front and 245/45 x 16 on 9" for the rear.

no AX or roadracing, just plain-ole street driving ...

I you can get the sizes you want and they are for street only. Go for it. Falkens are a good tire. Not to pricey, either.
What is the treadwear rating on these one's?

For street tires a lot of the 911 guys like the Yokohama ES100, the Kuhmo MX, and I've heard good things about the super cheap Fuzion ZRi. The Fuzion is a Bridgestone made tire that looks and specs nearly identical to the RE750.
