Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires What is the best performance tire???

And the BF Goodrich KDWS has an even higher treadwear index (400) plus they are quieter than the KDW.

My 225/50R16 KDWS's were $109.00 each plus shipping from Tire Rack. Exceptional tire.

Also, if you didn't know, Michelin owns BF Goodrich. BF Goodrich has made constant improvements to an already goo tire line since Michelin bought them out.

I'll have trouble breaking 10k on my Kumho's. I do drive the car hard with 1 track day and lots of canyon carving on them though. They are OK, but considering their super low price, a good throw away kind of tire. I don't feel bad sliding the car around on them on bit.
Not the best I've used, (absolutly HORRIBLE in the snow) and I'll be going for something differnt when I get rims later this spring (Bridgestone RE-730's most likely).

I just got my SO-2's and I love them. They handle so well. Im runnin a 215/45 R17 and its really smooth and there is no wheel hop. Very quiet for the very aggressive, and handle almost the same in wet conditions as in dry. Best tire ever owned. I recommend them, except for the price, but oh well you only live once.
