You will love them. They are great for driving on the street, are Z-rated, and do decent at the track as well. My first time out I managed a 2.2 60' with no burnout and I suck at launching, but am getting better .

Have the discontinued Kumho 711's now, they were cheap at $42 a tire or something like that, I've beaten the **** out of them for the past 6k miles and they've held up pretty well.

I want to try the Federal SS595's next time around unless I buy 17's.
You should try the KDW, they are much better than the KDWS from what I've heard and I can personally attest to the grip with the KDW. It is one of the best for a street tire.

Default Chae, one up..

I thought about those, but then said WTF, ordered BFG. drag radials IIs, from tire rack, I was sold when I read reviews from owners of the drs...if they dont work then I am going with Mickey Thompson E.T. Streets dr's, just the BFGs showed better wear and some better traction in case you get caught in wet weather..

Yeah I'm looking into a set of slicks for the track that I can mount on some spare 16" x 8" stock rims (2). The KDW are a great street tire though . Good luck with those tires. I'm sure they will hook well .

Thanx, cant wait for them to come in, if your going to run slicks, go 15 inch rims with a 28 inch tire, more side wall to wrinkle, and I think they are cheaper..

yeah I do love them, they hook great. My old Riken raptors use to be ice skates in the rain but the KDWs stick to the road so well. But mine are not z-rated, they are y-rated

Z-rated means any tire 149+ mph. Y-rated means top speed of 186 mph so they are one in the same. Yes they are technically Y-rated.

Pirelli P-Zero Nero all the way around here. They are a much better tire than the Dunlop sp sports I was running before. They have some of the best wet traction I have had in a tire.

Believe it or not I cut a 1.99 60 ft. with my fuzions. BFG dr's coming in tomorrow. I was actually surprised about the fuzions grip. Have you had personal expierence with them since they suck?
