I definately got the KDW tires. I checked BF Goodrich's website to find the "service description" of the 215 is a 90Y, whereas the 205 is an 89Y, could this mean something about the compound?
In respect to the comment about 205 being a better size for the rim, where did this come from? BFGoodrich list the rim sizes for the 225 to be from 6.0-8.0 (our 7in falls right in the middle), whereas the 205 and 215s are from 5.5 and 6.0 - 7.5 (better sized for a 6.5in rim) Am I missing something? I see some BMW M's have the rims being wider than tires, is there a benefit to this? I could see less tire roll, but at the expense of contact patch?
Finally, on a side note to Luke. I purchased these tires from Belle Tire. They pricematched Tirerack+Shipping and Install. They told me they actually order from Tirerack Wholesale. I just want to know that I am not somehow taking business from tirerack. You provide an amazing service (especially at Contour.org), that I want to make sure I am rewarding with my business. I do however hate dealing with the UPS guy, squeezing 4 tires into a contour trunk, etc. Could you let me know that tirerack still makes money if belletire orders from tirerack for me?
Thanks
Geoff
