T1-R vs. FK-451 vs. K104
What tire would you go with out of these three - the Toyo T1-R, Falken FK-451, or Hankook Ventus K104?
Best prices I've found so far are $800 for Toyo's, $777 for Falken's, $625 for Hankooks.
I'm also welcome to other ideas in this price range. Thanks!

Just picked up a set for my new 20s for $700 on ebay... not too shabby.
I've been reading reviews all day.. many have positive things to say and there are some negative... for the deal, may be worth a chance.

So.. with those numbers not a whole hell of a lot since the 451s supposedly had top of the line ratings. But Falken claims better wet/dry handling, wearing (or lack of), and less noise...

Having driven both FK452s and RT615s I assure you the 615s have a LOT more grip and outperform the 452s in every way that I could notice. Treadwear sucks on the 615s though. For a decent cheap set of street tires I went with Nitto Neogen ZRs. They are fairly comfortable ride wise and although I haven't tried to push them to extemes they seem to do well in the handling department so far. I have a set of track wheels if I need them anyways. Consequently the track wheels just had a set of 615s installed to replace some badly worn RA-1s

I would pick the Falkens, i like mine... but they are not near as sticky as the stock bridgestones.
It does rain alot in atlanta and the fk451's do awesome in the rain and wear very good.
