Tire shopping here and about to buy Goodyear Eagle F1s, but Falken GRB FK-451 may be a good and less expensive alternative. What are your thoughts?

I've got'em in 215/40/17 from Edge Racing - much better than the runflats and with my H-sports and 22mm swaybar there is not much that I can't do.

took a right hand turn last night at about 70 - unexpected road constrution on my fav twisties - the runflats would have put me in the curb - I guarentee it.

i like the low sidewall, but next time I think I will stick with the 45's.
