I pesonally hate michellins they seem to dryrot before they wear out because they are so hard,
On my TA I have Nittos in the rear(same size as you) and up fronti have Cooper Zeon 2XS they are nice i want to throw them on the rear to see how they hook
Edit: the cooopes are soft so i think they will hook fairly well

So I was thinking something like a Nitto Neogen or maybe a Fuzion ZRI i like the bfgs as well.

So what do you guys think of some BFgoodrich g-force t/a kdws?

Nitto neogens are not available in 245/50/16's. Trust me I looked, I put those on my wife's Mazda6. I think the Firestone Wide Ovals or BFG G forces' would be great choices, and you can get the BFG's in a 255/50/16, which I think looks better and hooks good. I have the Raptors, wear well but aren't exactly a hookin tire.

I dig my Michelin Pilot Sport 2's. I had KDW's on my car before. Big traction and handling difference. Worlds better in the rain. Decent at the dragway even. Don't let anyone talk bad about them. You get what you pay for.

I have been doing a lot of research and found that the Goodyear GS-D3s are a great tire (according to this forum and tirerack reviews). I'll be picking up some soon hopefully.

I went to discount tire 2 days ago and I was looking to buying BFgoodrich g-force t/a kdws but they got discontinued that's what the guy said he tried calling other stores and warehouses couldn't find them so I went with the BF Goodrich g-Force Sport awesome tire so far.

Are you looking for 245/50/16's or 275/40/17's because that makes a huge difference.

IMO Nitto 555rs hook well on street.although m/t's are the king of the track

personally, when it comes time to replace my tires again, i'm gonna go with the Cooper Zeon 2XS tires again, if they're still available at the time (i had the Coopers on my car previous to this set of tires). i have the GS-D3's on my car now, and i can't really tell any difference between them and the Coopers.....well, except for the hit to the pocketbook.

if there's any performance improvement, i think it's mainly because i went up from 245-width tires to 275-width tires......otherwise, i can't really tell much difference, if any.

and just to clarify, i'm not easy on my car in the corners, i like to whip around curves/turns much faster than most people feel comfortable with.....

i don't drag race at all, though, so i'm not sure of the difference in hooking between the two.

my coopers lasted in the neighborhood of 20k - 25k miles....but then again, they were close to completely bald (and the rears had cords showing in the middle) when i replaced them. realistically, expect around 20k. but at half the price of the GS-D3's, it's MUCH easier on the wallet.

i always like the the bfg kdw and kdw2 . both are excellent tires and still can have fun at the drag strip . though now i got michelin pilot sports that have a 220 treadware . the michelin tire has some good grip in turns , does not roll and are good in the rain .

do dr's count?? if so i liked the bfg's they last a little longer than mt's and still hooked pretty good. i like the Michelin PS2's but they cost a lot!
