yep. if i keep them im going to get a set of tire and use them for the summer and racing. not sure which to get...
http://www.edgeracing.com/tire/3144/ - more of a street tire.
http://www.edgeracing.com/tire/1541/ - no f'n around here
http://www.edgeracing.com/tire/1530/ - another serious tire. 200 treadwear rating
im leaning towards the 1st set because im still going to use them on the street so if it rains i cant be f'ed. a 300 treadwear rating should last two summers with racing. not to mention the 2nd set seem to be impossible to get right now.

Jim - It's airsoft... but the bullets are a nice touch, no? :D
And... Custard filling! Lol!

Falken FK452's are awesome. I have 'em as my summer tires. Handles great in the rain!

what size wheel do you have them on? are they noisy? whats the wear like on them? i rotate my tires every 5k religiously.
it looks like you have about the same power as my car so do you have a problem launching? though im more interesting in handling stuff. i dont like drag racing

Wear's decent. They're a fairly soft tire, but I've road raced with them (Englishtown Road Course) and they're still doing great. I do have a wheel out of round or a flat spot on one of my tires so they're a little noisy now, but this is my 2nd summer on them so they're at about 1/2 to 1/3 tread. I think. When they were brand new they were quiet as heck though - they're "sport luxury" tires.
I CAN get them to break loose when turning. If I launch, they'll spin no matter what. The only tires I have that won't do that are my Drag Radials
