        Lot of mixed feelings on those. They are pretty grippy for the first half of their life, with a nice stiff sidewall, but they wear wierd and usually end up out of round and really really loud.

          crap (you've probably seen me say that before though)

          I like all of jordan's choices. the KDW are great in the rain btw.

            I'll add to those great choices (minus the squishy sidewalls on the T1-S and to a lesser extent the F1) the ultimate street tire:

            Yokohama Advan Neova.

                  Okay, okay. I'll come off the clouds now.

                  Nothing can touch the Hankook R-S2 in that price range. Buy those.

                    Anyone want to comment on the KDW-2s? They're waiting for me in CA, I just want some opinions first.

                      I am heavily considering this tire, any more nods for it?

                        Those are what Jordan means, the 2nd version has been out for years (so people dropped the "2" on the name).

                        Awesome tire all around, if a little loud. I personally like tire noise.

                          I thought Jordan hated them because of the tread pattern?

                          I don't care about noise, so they should be good.

                              The tread does look gay, but they are priced well and perform great. Once they are moving the tread looks pretty normal anyways.
