I miss FK451, but I think you mean FK452, since they no longer make 51s
BTW, if some how you can get FK451s, then we need to talk, I would love to get my hands on some

oops, I meant to say FK452's

I said 451 because I still run them on my SC. They are my all time favorite tire as well: quiet, nice grip and stretch REALLY nice

I know they will be next to impossible to find, so I never offered my old sponsored 451 tires for sale.

I can ask if they have any old dead-stock next week and get back with you

---------------------------------

The 452 seem to run a little big, compared to the 451 of the same size I think they are still priced well...a good 'bang for the buck'. I run FK452's on the GS3/4 and have no complaints.

....And the (FK452) rim protector feature has saved a wheel b4

Lol yea I saw your post, but Im just looking pay about half that for some used ones. Dont plan on riding on just springs for long, maybe a year and then upgrade to coilovers or find some KYG-BR2 struts to go with the springs Thanks though!

OH btw, if I do go with this spring/strut combo, will I have to roll my fenders or anything?

245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear. the rears have to be a lower profile because it is a percentage of the width of the tire(30% of 275). Since 275 is wider than 245 the difference in percentage of the sidewall evens off. If you leave it at 35 in the rear the tires will have a bigger diameter than the front. use a tire size calculator online. there's a few different websites you can use.
