Geez, I finally pretty much made up my mind on what tires to get, either BFG Comp TA VR4s or Continental ContiExtremes. Both tires have rave reviews on tirerack.com and I have received much positive feedback on this forum as well.
I talked to my local tire guy yesterday and told him I was considering these tires because the KDWs were a bit too rough and noisy and I wanted to try something new. He told me that both these tires ride just as rough as the KDWs and that I would be unhappy with them if I was looking for more comfort. I find this hard to believe and will probably go with one of those tires anyway, but it still drove me nuts when he said that. He suggested a set of Pirelli's if I wanted a more comfy ride. In my experience with Pirelli tires I seem to recall that they were oriented towards performance and not a cushy ride. Oh well, everybody has their own opinion. As a tire guy I'm sure he's just making a generic assessment, obviously he's never suited up an SVT with different tires to see how they really behave. His loss! Hehehehehe.........
