in that price range another good option is the kumho ecsta mx. i have them on the rear of the s2k... for $100, you're not gonna get the best tire out there, and i didn't. while they do have really good grip, they wore very fast. the fk451 will wear more slowly than the mx, but will also grip a good bit less. if you're daily driving, i'd prefer the wear. an excellent in-between option would have been the avs es100, but they tend to get noisy.
i now have a pair of bridgestone re750s in the garage which should grip about the same as the mx, but wear more slowly according to others in the same boat as me. at $150 they might be more than you wanted to spend, though.
