FYI here is what they look like (they have very similar tread to the Pilot Sports):

I've had my Falken GRB FK-451 for about 2 months now. I like them, especially for the price. The Toyo's were one alternative, but they are more expensive. Road noise didn't improve from my Michelin Pilot sports, but then again, I went from 18" wheels to 20" wheels, and they're 30 series tires in the rear, so I can't really make a fair comparision. Overall, I'd say that for the price, there's not much better.

Quick follow up ... I got the Falken GRB FK-451's (245/45/18's) installed today at Goodyear and got to drive it pretty hard .. Tires are awesome so far, at least in the dry, cornered better than the Pilot Sports, look awesome too. Got them for $141/each at www.vulcantire.com too.
I'll follow up on them once I get to drive them in the rain.

Just a Follow up ....
I have the Falken GBR-451 245/45/18 's on my 2005 G35x w/ about 5K Miles on them so far ... They are great tires .. great traction and solid construction .. wear is good so far .... only slight negative is they are slightly noisey, but not much different then Mich Pilots.
Highly Recommended !!
