Default Falken FK 451

I am shopping for replacements for my rear Bridgestones. It's really confusing trying to figure out which will be a suitable replacement. (Please don't tell me to get the same Bridgestones) I mean a less expensive but suitable replacement. I'm between Fuzion ZR and the above. Any thoughts?

I have the beta 451's. I wouldn't recommend them if you are going to push your car. At the Dragon on my 451's I couldn't keep my normal pace. If you are looking for a capable street tire that has good wet traction and decent wear, then they aren't bad. I'd probably try the Fuzion. My next tire is the Advan Neova or Falken RT615

Thanks, I am replacing my rears mainly for the WTD in April. Only 10K on my original rears and not much tread left. Of course, it could be my driving. I do love that V tech.

i have used them before, not on a s2000.

They are a very very predictable tyre, and you can hold a slide well. the grip is only average though.
