The BFG KDWs, if they're the same as mine, can be pretty pricey, but I wouldn't go with any other tire now that I've tried them out.
Yokohama Parada Spec IIs are pretty good though. They seem to be a popular choice.

You get what you pay for. They hold the record for best skidpad and the fastest quarter mile time on street tires, among god knows what other records\awards. I'll try and find the pamphlet later.
Yokohama Parada Spec-II's are great tires as well. I used those on my GSX for quite some time, they didn't last that long, but thats because I wasn't very nice to them. They held the power very well. Just put the KDWs on it and it is a much better tire, went from a great tire to an even greater tire. cool.gif

Nice. I got the Khumo 711's on my new rims cause they were cheap as hell. Well, they don't hook up very well with low boost. 1st is still useless, and 2nd spins like crazy on the shift.

Now you just have to remember to keep your wheels turned when you park, so people see that sweet tread pattern fing02.gif
If you're ever out in the rain with those, you'll really enjoy the grip they give. The only downside is the road noise. Its a bit more than some other tires, but then again, thats why they put a volume control on the radio
