Pros:
Pretty Good tire, good dry traction loads better than stock
Cons:
cant compete with other high performance tires ie. S03, wet traction not impressive
I am happy with the performance of these tires, not up to S03 standards but, still good performers for $60 less ea. Dry traction is greatly improved over stock RE-92. Wet traction however is not significantly improved over stock. They have a pretty good treadwear rating, and have seemed to hold up/perform well the last 6 months. They don't offer the performance of the Azenis sports, but have much greater treadlife and better wet traction(than azenis sport), all around a pretty good tire.

Pros:
Great in the wet and dry, best performance for the price
Cons:
? none so far
I spent a lot of time looking at tires. The S03s, F1s, MXs, ST115s, 451s.
After asking around on some of the forums and talking with several other owners it seemed to be a no-brainer. The 451s got the best reviews for the price from everyone I had spoken too. Only the S03s were rated higher, but at about $60 more per tire. The MXs came in a close second and were about the same price. Maybe I will try the S03s or MXs when the 451s wearout.
I was out recently for a long drive on the winding roads in Northern California in the rain and these tires held the corners extremly well. I felt alot better driving with these on then the stock RE92s.
You can get these tires for $85 (per tire) online at edgeracing.com I paid $110 (per tire) including mounting, tax, etc at Big-O tire.

Pros:
predictable loss of traction, cost, grip, water handling,
Cons:
poor rim protection
Great tire. I had these on my old civic.
Great handling tire. Very predictable breakaway. Dependable handling.
Pretty quiet for such an aggressively tread tire.
Pretty good in the water. Never had any problems..even with spirited driving in the rain. (not unsafe speeds)
I even had em in the snow a few times...definatly wouldn\'t recommend that. Not a good idea to run chains on them...too soft. And they stiffen up in the cold temps. But I made it home alright..chainless haaaa.
I really love these tires. One of the better tires I\'ve driven. I\'d get them again in a heartbeat. especially for the price.
