Whats the best tire for my situation? 01 WS6...275/40/17s
Right now I have the factory Eagle F1s all the way around. One rear tire just blew out and the other is almost bald. The fronts are almost brand new. I plan on swapping the fronts the back and putting new tires on the front. Then when the Eagle F1s on the rear wear out i'll put a matching set on. (I don't want to spend $280/tire for 2 more Eagle F1s)
How are the Nitto NT-05s? I drive my car maybe 3k miles a year and its only in nice sunny weather so no need for all seasons.

Or how about the KDW2?

I have had the old style KDW and now have the NT05. I am really liking the NT05 but both are great tires and better than the F1s. Basically the NT05 is stiffer and stickier but the KDW will last longer. For you I would say NT05.
