I need new tires TODAY. Are people all leaning towards the KDW2's? I'm reading on the rack that they wear out on the outside constantly. Anybody have a similar response?

If you're not too concerned about tire wear or wet weather use, you'll love the Potenza RE-01R. I just switched to these from PZero Rosso's and the difference is unreal - these things stick like **** to a baby blanket. In street driving (ie at recommended tire pressures) they felt every bit as sticky at Nitto DR's which I've also used previously.
Here's the results of a track test Tirerack posted on another site I use:

We have broken down tires into several catagories and here is a short list of what I have experienced in our testing. Now remember, we do not have every single tire line in the world so, if your particular favorite is not in this list it is probably because we haven't tested it. Also, this is my take on the testing that I have completed here at The Tire Rack on our test track.
Extreme Performance:
You want extreme dry street performance and are willing to trade some comfort and hydroplaning resistance to get it.
Not intended to be driven in snow or on ice, or at high speeds in deep standing water, these specially tuned tires combine big-block tread designs with aggressive tread compounds and reinforced internal constructions to emphasize dry road response, traction, handling and high speed capabilities for serious driving enthusiasts.
1.) Potenza RE01R
2.) Advan Neova AD07
3.) P-Zero
4.) Ecsta MX
5.) G-Force KD
Maximum Performance:
These are great performing tires which offer great steering response and wet/dry traction (not for use inthe snow!!!).
1.)Eagle F1 GS-D3
2.)Potenza RE050A Pole Position
3.)Pilot Sport PS2
4.)Advan Sport
5.)SP Sport Maxx
Ultra High Performance:
A step down form the Max tires but, still exceptional performance which fits most application for a street tire that can be driven very aggressivley.
1.) G-Force KDW2
2.) Firehawk Wide Oval
3.) Pilot Exalto PE2
4.) Potenza RE750
5.) G-Force Sport
Ultra High Performance All Season:
Performance tires which are capable of going through the snow.
1.) Potenza RE960 Pole Position
2.) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
3.) P-Zero Nero M&S
4.) Advan S4
5.) Dunlop Sport 5000
6.) Continental Extreme Contact
7.) BFG G-Force KDWS
8.) Tech M550
Budget Performance Tires:
Summer performance with a cost effective tire when your budget is a concern. (based on performance not cost)
1.) Kumho Ecsta SPT
2.) General Exclaim UHP
3.) Avon Tech M500
4.) Dunlop Direzza DZ101
5.) AVS ES100
6.) Fuzion ZRi
7.) Sumitomo HTR Z II

I just ordered the Falken 512's and they rank higher then the KDW's believe it or not! They also took consumer reports best tire a few years back and considering the set of 4 can be had for around $400.00 shipped to your door they're a tough act to beat.

Notice that there is no mention of toyo proxes anywhere on there. I bought a pair of toyo proxy T1Rs and they are by far the best tire I have ever bought. They are expensive but god they are so quite, soft, and grip way better than any tires I have ever had especially the rosso's
