actually the potenzas wear the best of the many tires available. the others are all better because of the softer compound but they wont last long if your doing a alot of burnouts.

I ordered the Falkens 512 from Sears last Saturday on sale for $112. Regular price is something like 150 to 175 depending on where you live and buy'em. They already called and told me that they came in (Sears didn't have'em in stock) and i'm going there tomorrow to have'em installed. The sale price will last through this Saturday.

I didn't ask b/c although the 451's have a more aggressive tread pattern than the 512's, their treadwear is 280 compared to 360 on the 512's which means the 512's will last a little bit longer. On the other hand, the 451's have a better traction rating (AA) than the 512's (A).
