GO to www.tirerack.com and look up those tires and check on the "customer feedback" section. Probably get a good feel for them at that site. Just a thought....good luck.

Hey Drew...what rims did you get? What size? When and where did you get your car dynoed? Those are some good numbers for such few mods, awesome! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The only mods that youve done to your car are listed in your signature? Let me know what you think of the MXs! I went ahead and had my dad buy me the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDWs!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> They look mean! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> I got them in 285/40/17! I replaced the crappy <img border="0" alt="[shoot]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> 275/40/17 Goodyear HPs! They hook pretty damn good for a steet tire! Way better than the HPs! Anyhow, what do you think about me putting in a cam? Exciting huh?!! <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" /> Ive got all the bolt-ons and Im thinking of doing a cam! Thats probably going to be it for a while until I save up for the 12bolt Moser with 4.10s!! <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

I've had the MX's on my Formula for a few weeks now, and i'm very impressed. No comparison to the F1's that they replaced, and they hook great for a non-DR tire. I paid $146/ea plus tax out the door, that's about HALF of what you would pay for KD's, and from the reviews on Tire-rack, many people feel the MX's are the better tire.

Did you get all 4 10 spoke silver SS wheels? Did you buy them new or used? Where or who did you buy them from? I didnt know you were wanting those wheels cause if I did, I would of sold you mine! Let me know, thanks.

i got them on this afternoon, and i really like them, very aggresive tread pattern. they seem to grip really well, its pretty cold outside and tire spin is very little. much better than my previous GSCs. I think that i will buy them again unless i get some nittos. also they are very cheap. so thats cool too

I think really the only downside to these tires is that a lot of people don't like the sidewall, it's got some swirly design on it, but from what I hear from my co-workers ( I work at Discount Tire) it's a badass tire and a much better value then a lot of other tires and they hook pretty damn good
