[s-cars] Springtime Tire Survey

[LL - NY]

I have the FK451 (predecessor, at least visually, can't tell the
difference).  VERY quiet, somewhat soft sidewall so smooth ride at the
expense of response, rather grippy wet or dry. No idea on wear (UrS has been
a garage queen) but  the indicated treadwear says they'll happily go 15K
miles.
