and ive probably agreeded with you every time


I'll have to agree on the KDWs as well.

They also have a CRAZY tread pattern, so make sure you always turn your wheels when you park fing02.gif

good bit more than the kumho 712's at 60 a piece thats why I'll probably be getting them in the spring. guess it just depends on how much you want to spend.

I too have had the Hankook HR II's on previous rims and they were a great tire that wore very little in comparison to Kumho's...I will be going back to them again when the time comes...

I'm sure he's not too concerned with the rating for use in rain though guys. We're not exactly experiencing heavy storms and weather in Cali right now...



I'll get you a quote on the tires you want if they seem pricey. Just let me know.

My car is hardly driven when it rains...


I just want the best bang for the buck on dry road. I drive like a grandma when it rains anyways. Too many fvcktards on LA freeways.


Chris could you please check on these
BF Goodrich KDW-2
215 40 17r

Im going to call sonic and see what kind of price i can get.

If i cant find it close to 100 per tire locally, ill settle for some kumhos or something similar.

Tire rack has a nice price on them,... but when you factor in shipping, its not that attractive.

Im going to read up on the hankooks and the nankangs

Whatever you do don't buy Yokohama AVS ES100. They're reasonable, but those tires suck.
