Default Falken F451 Question

I have seen a post or two on the Falken F451 tires. I will be in need of new tires in a month or two and am considering shedding the runflats for a more reasonably priced tire, actually a budget tire. I have found a set in stock C5 sizes for $492.00 plus shipping. Just wanting to know from anyone that has had a set of these on for awhile how they are holding up? My original EMT's are doing pretty well at 20k but at 5 years old I think that they are about to wear out from age as much as tread wear. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kevin

I have had Falken 451s on my 98 coupe for 22k miles. I take them out low speed autocrossing and they are great. Still decent tread in back. Only complaint is that they only go up to 295/35/18 in back.
