They are awesome dry traction tires. Just pray you never get stuck in a rain storm with those. They are like driving on ice in the rain. Very scary. I do not do any wet weather driving in my Z but my experience with the KD's (buddy's car) in a storm was so upsetting that I went with the KDW2's just in case. I still think the KDW2's will wind up killing my rear as they hook so much better than the crap Kuhmo's I used to have on my car. the KD's are even better than the KDW2's for dry roads. Enjoy!

dude, you paid way too much. Always, always, always check tirerack before buying tires at a shop. Also, ask discout tire if they will price match tirerack, they usually will. You endup paying more because you have to pay tax, but it's nice to be able to take them back to a store if you have problems. Let us know how they handle.

his price was probaly with the free replacement certificates. you may pay a little more at discount but when you need a tire fixed, balanced, or have a blowout and need a tire you cant just go down to your local tirerack store and get helped. thats the benefit of going to a store.

Good choice on tires. As for wet traction they are not that bad. Was on a wet skid pad and got .79g. With better drving on my part it would of been even higher. As for tire life as long as you are not during burnout everyday you should get good life. I have a set that has 23,000 + on them and I have put close to 400 road course miles with aggreessive alignment settings. Make sure you rotate every 3 to 4 thoudands miles.

Hate to tell you this, but...
I just ordered a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's from Sears for only $258 each.
I did an Ultra Car Performance tire comparison on the Tire Rack site and these tires are 2nd highest rated; they win hands down over all others including Good Year F1, BFG KDW's, Yokohama, Pirelli etc. etc.
My 2002 Firehawk has only had Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP's on it since I took delivery, but they don't make them anymore.
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's are OEM on some of the fastest cars in the world.
That's good enough to earn my $$$.
I'm having them installed locally by a top notch shop who will be refinishing my OEM SLP Firehawk wheels for me before installing and balancing.
If you compare on Tire Rack, these ARE the best rated tires for least amount of road noise, best wet and dry traction, treadwear, etc.
I'm anxious to get them on the car and see what's up. Especially since I'll be upping th HP this month with a set of Dynatech Supermaxx LT headers...

PSP2's are damn good tires but like was stated the GS-D3's outperformed them all in a few magazine tests. If rain isn't an issue I'd rather have the KD's. If rain is the D3's.
Good choice.

I had to drive my Camaro last year as my only car through fall. I've never had a problem in the rain. Any tire is going to be squirrelly in rain. And yes, dry weather, they are THE cats ***. I scare people that ride with me when I show them their capabilities. Unless you're going to scorching them, they don't wear like people think. I've done my share of shitys and brake stands. When it's nice and warm out, they hook almost like a slick. They don't make a whole lot of noise either when you rip them. I also got a very sweet deal from my father-in-law when he worked at SLP. $900 for tires WITH SS/ZR1 take offs. I could not pass that up.

Say What You Want...
...But when these tires come OEM from the factory on the BMW Alpina Z8, McLaren SLR and Porsche GT2 & GT3 models, they sure as hell will handle ANY F-body on this site. They're used by BMW Motorsport, Mercedes AMG, Porsche and Audi. At the price they cost, I can understand they're not for everyone, but I decided pretty fast when I wore out my 1st set of Firestone Firehawk's that I wasn't cutting ANY corners on a $34,500 car when it comes to tires and brakes. Since I live in Florida, wet handling and road noise are very important to me. I'm sure if you live in other dry states and where you stash the car 6 months out of the year for winter, it's not as important.
