Kumo Ecsta MX or Falken FK 451

I am buying tires for my new wheels and I cannot decide between these two tires. I am on a budget so that is why I have narrowed my search to these two. If anyone owns either of these two tires or knows somebody who has had experiecne with them I would greatly appreciate your input.

Try PM'ing "murix", he bought the same brand Kumo's and from what I gather he is happy with them. He does track days at Thunderhill and other places in his 8 so I figure he can speak to the road handling, noise and treadware of that particular tire.

I'm running the MXs and really like them. As noisy as OEM but they are lighter, stickier and handle heat better. If you are going to track or auto-x your 8 I would highly recomend them.
