BF Goodrich KDW's are what I'm getting as soon as my stock Pirrelli's die.

If you got money, I say go with Eagle F1's. They are expensive, but IMO, you will never find a tire that handles (and looks) better than the F1's.

I have Eagle F1 GS-D3's and I can grab on the street and the strip, wet or dry, straight or twisty. I got them on discount from tire rack when they were on sale so they were cheap for me but they are pricey normally but I will be getting them again when I run these out as they are a very good tire.

I've got Nitto 555's right now and I can't wait for new tires. They handle and grip similar to the stock Pirelli's when dry, suck in the wet. I'm looking at KDW2's for my next set.
