Yay Tire Shopping

I ran 225/50R16s Goodrich G-Force sport and got 16k out of em, worked well. Now running the 225/45R17 Dunlop Direzza Star Spec. Stick like No Other but expect no more than 8K out of em.

ken runs his shop out of unibody tech in mapunapuna. if you have him mount it, it comes out to $120/tire (if i recall correctly). like i said, r&d has the same tire deal...i believe if you mount it there its about $125/tire....best to call & ask

Get a set of BFG KDW2s. One of the better performing tires with a treadwear rating better than all those mentioned above. They're good in the wet, and look pretty.

+1 for kdw2's tirerack had them pretty cheap. awesome tire for the price.

+1 KDW
Great all around they do have some road noise after some wear because of the tread design (Cool flames),and have a low treadlife but great tire. You can preorder at costco.com (they don't have them in stock) and there is a costco near every one plus they do good rotations not only swaps, if they have to they take the tire off the rim for directional tires others don't.
