You are comparing apples to oranges, my friend. Very ugly apples to shiny oranges, to say the least.

You know, for a second I read FK451. Nevermind

It's a pretty new tire so I don't know much about it. Wait for others to chime in

The FK452 is just the new version of the older FK451.

Since they're designed for large wheels running super low profile tires, I can't imagine that they would be the most comfortable ride. Then again, I love my RT-615 Azenis, but certainly not for ride quality.

Sizing looks, interesting, for the FK452 on Falken's site. Nothing smaller than a 16 is available.
For a pre-96 Civic, 215/40-16 looks to be the closest to correct size.
For a 97-00 Civic or Integra, 205/40-17 or 215/40-17 should work, though they also come in a 215/35-18 if you have glass smooth roads, don't mind bending wheels periodically, and don't care if the speedometer is a little off.

Unless you're going for the "VIP, rubber band on a wheel" look, I'd look into other tires. But, thats just the opinion of someone who has never owned, nor ridden in a car equipped with, FK452 tires.

I should be able to help you out. I got 2 T1r's on my car right now and will be adding 2 new Falken Fk452's to the rear of my Acura Integra. I'll keep you posted on the results.

Ask on a Nissan/Infiniti board, where they will have more knowledge about tires and parts for your car. This is honda-tech.
