Falken 452 vs. Goodyear Eagle GT?

Hey guys,
I'm looking to replace the rear tires of my 2005 G coupe with the sport suspension package; she's riding on 245/40/19 in the rear right now. She current has old Falkens on her, and I'm looking at replacing them with Falken 452s or Goodyear Eagle GTs. Tire Rack seems to love the Eagle GTs for their price, but I can't find any reviews comparing them to the Falkens since TR doesn't sell Falken.

Any input is appreciated. This is the first I'll be replacing the tires since I bought her last spring and its sort of a shot in the dark without some insight...

Thanks a lot.

Discount Tire Direct has both

Both are pretty comparable price wise.

Personally I would go for the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's but they are quite a bit more expensive in that size.

Thanks guys, but the F1s are a little steep for my price range.

I'm leaning toward the Eagle GT over the Falken; the reviews seem about even on discounttire.com (thanks for the link!) but the Eagles are getting better wear ratings.

Any other suggestions are appreciated still; probably won't order tires until late this week or early next.
