That is a great price. I thought the KDW's had a more aggressive tread design?  :dunno:

bb71 the KDW 2's are the ones you are thinking of.

I might get a set just for burnouts...  :burnout:

It almost seems too good to be true.   :grinyes:

They probably only have one left.   :lol:

I SWEAR by BF Goodrich.  I had KDW2's on the Stratus, now I have the G-Force AS sport tires, and I've already priced out the KDW 2's for the 'Cuda (for a day off in the future.)

Hell I'm almost offended that you want to use them for burnouts!  But for the price - eh, why not.  Those look real similar to the Goodyear Regatta II tire, which means they're not for sport driving at all - more of a touring tire.

Just to share my experience with them, they are the best tyre shop, period.


TIRERACK.COM  -  I heard of these guys a while ago but laid off commenting until I had a first hand experience of my own to share. I just purchased some new tyres for the SRT/10 late last month, did my research found the tyres and called to order. Firstly, the man you want is Porter, very helpful and a hard case, not a kiss arse type, just honest. Beats talking to the usual sulky dropkick.

I told Porter what I wanted, he confirmed and said he'd get back to me with some shipping quotes. 1 hour later an email showed up, a total price for the tyres which we had discussed already and 2 shipping options. FedEx (my fav) one for Priority = $1,016.66 US (1-3 days) and the other was Economy (3-5 days) at, get this, $368.68 for 4 x 305/45ZR22 tyres! Trust me, that's fantastic. Price for the tyres themselves was $147 each (RRP $300 US), total $588 US for the tyres and the order came to $956.68 US.

Total all up for these tyres in NZD $1,258 NZD! One of these tyres in NZ cost around $800+. Anyhow, they stock great brands from BFGs to Hummer tyres. If you want to save money, do what tyre companies do and shop direct. I ordered them on the 23rd, got them on the (29th), that's 6 days from the US to my door via customs as well. I saved around $1,200 going direct. I have heard the BFGs are a nice tyre just a little loud and crap in wet weather conditions. Good traction in dry and corner hugging lovers, plus they look cool. :2cents:
