    just ordered G-Force T/A KDW NTs

    I don't even know why I got them since it almost never rains here even though I almost died in the big rain storm last week. Tread looked cool I think that got me interested also they were a decent price 95 dollars each for 225/45-16s. Hope they have decent life otherwise I would have gotten the Ziex 512s. Anyone use these?

    I have had a couple sets and love them. They seem like they have better grip in the wet than dry! Also, somewhat dangerous to those inexperienced, they will not make any noise when they break free. I dropped the clutch with a set on next to a cop and they didnt even hear me. Love them! Good deal too! In the size I need they run 150-190 a corner.

      fucking great tires in the wet and dry. They wear about on par for tires of their type, but good god they are amazing in the rain.

        How are these compared to the Goodyear Eagle F1's in the wet? If anyone knows.

          mine have lasted a decent amount of time.. there's somewhere around 15000 miles on them now and I stll have about half the tread left. even all the negative camber I have hasn't seemd to affect them much.

            I'd put $100 on 512's wearing faster than KDW's. They are incredibly soft tires, and the KDW's are known to last fairly long (relative to the rest of the class).

              cool, I've been a fan of BFG since I had these comp T/As on my e34 and would just smoke up the entire parking lot after school doing donuts, used them for years until I sold off the bottlecaps and some guy put it on his E23 and he used them for a while too.

              150, thats a lot, I would get something else for that price. These are on sale or something at discount tire I guess.

              I like the Falken Azenis ST115 but they dont make them anymore, they didnt make the 225/45 anyways though.

                The replacement for the ST-115 (as well as the FK-451, they were essentially the same tire) is actually quite good too, the FK-452. It does come in 225/45/16.
