Default Opinions Needed on 2 tire options
How are the Dunlp Direzza Sport Z1 and the Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval tires?? anyone used these and how are they

I like the thread designs but I'm just checking what tires are good out there. Bought the Sumitomo HTRZ for $90 more less and 1 tire already went bad.

I definitely like BFG kdws and heard good things about them. Just doing some research
Thanks
